Though the UK prides itself on values of fair play and the rule of law, few countries do more to frustrate global anti-corruption efforts. From the murky origins of tax havens and gambling centres in the British Virgin Islands and Gibraltar to the influence of oligarchs in the British establishment,<i> Butler to the World</i> is the story of how we became a nation of Jeeveses - and how it doesn't have to be this way.</p>
