Brought to you by Penguin.There''s an old saying: ''a rising tide lifts all boats''. It''s normally couched in positive terms; that overall economic improvement will benefit everyone. In the case of hi-tech money laundering, however, it offers a dark vision of the future. The better these launderers become at their work, the more crime of all types will be enabled. It''s time to understand where the water is rising, before it washes over us all.Money laundering has been around for centuries. For as long as people have been stealing money, there''s been an industry ready to wash it. But recent tech innovations have created vastly complex new systems for laundering that threaten to overwhelm authorities, destabilise economies and disrupt societies.Ranging from the flamboyant luxury of Dubai hotels to quiet coastal Ireland, from the UK to Nigeria and from Indonesia to North Korea, Rinsed is a truly global relevatory investigation into the new army of innovative launderers ... and the consequences for all of us.©2024 Geoff White (P)2024 Penguin Audio

Brought to you by Penguin.Based on the No 1 hit podcast ''The Lazarus Heist''''You''ll never see North Korea the same way again'' Oliver Bullough, Sunday Times bestselling author of Moneyland''One of the most incredible cyber-espionage stories I''ve ever heard, told by one of the UK''s best tech journalists'' Jamie Bartlett, author of The Missing Crypto Queen''Madly intriguing'' GuardianMeet the Lazarus Group, a shadowy cabal of hackers accused of working on behalf of the North Korean state. It''s claimed that they form one of the most dangerous criminal enterprises on the planet, having stolen more than $1bn in an international crime spree. Their targets allegedly include central banks, Hollywood film studios and even the British National Health Service. North Korea denies the allegations, saying the accusations are American attempts to tarnish its image.In this staggering, global investigation, award-winning journalist Geoff White examines how the hackers have harnessed cutting-edge technology to launch a decade-long campaign of brazen and merciless raids on its richer, more powerful adversaries. It''s not just money they''re after. The Lazarus Group''s tactics have been used to threaten democracies, gag North Korea''s critics and destabilize global peace.From the bustling streets of Dhaka, to the glamorous studios of Hollywood, to the glittering casinos of Macau and the secretive dynastic court of Pyongyang, this shocking story uncovers the secret world of the Lazarus Group, their victims and the people who have tried - and ultimately, so far failed - to stop them.''Cyber warfare and criminal hacking has never been more pertinent. This a must read to understand the threats currently facing all of us globally'' Annie Machon, author of Spies, Lies and Whistleblowers© Geoff White 2022 (P) Penguin Audio 2022

Almost a fifth of all employees work in the public sector. Employees working in the civil service, NHS, local government, education, the police and fire services also represent a large and growing body of students taking degree courses at universities. Exploring this important and rapidly changing area, this book outlines the main developments in the public sector since 1979, including topical issues such as the rise of new public management, decentralisation and contracting out. Themes which currently affect public sector employees are examined, including:

* decentralization* contracting out* fragmentation and the growth of individualism in the employment contract.

This stimulating, up-to-date and intellectually rigorous text is thematic, rather than sector specific, and reflects the way this subject is taught in a range of courses. It will complement alternative texts in this area and will be a valuable resource for students of public policy, public sector management, human resource management, employee and industrial relations.
