66. Mark Galeotti: How Crime Organises the World

When does a bandit become a monarch? When does a gang become a government? And is organised crime at the heart of every modern state?

Join Professor Mark Galeotti for a thrilling whistle-stop tour of how the world’s criminal underbelly has shaped state-making, capitalism, globalisation and all forms of so called legitimate power. Galeotti will show the emergence of modern society through the evolution of the underworld of organised crime, explaining how this dark underbelly shapes us, no matter how we try to outpace it.
