to
Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona (CCCB) Carrer de Montalegre 5, 08001 Barcelona
Tom Burgis is an English investigative journalist with The Guardian, whose work has focused on high-level corruption of political and business elites and the ways in which unscrupulous individuals in financial capitals like London have enabled and benefited from kleptocratic governments abroad. The conversation with Patrick Radden Keefe will focus on Tom Burgis' new book, Cuckooland: Where the Rich Own the Truth (William Collins, 2024), which reveals the extent to which elite malefactors exploit the legal system to rewrite or suppress their own histories.
The event will be take place in English with simultaneous translation into Catalan.
