Money laundering: towards an alternative interpretation – Chapter two

Rowan Bosworth‐Davies

Journal of Money Laundering Control, 2006, vol. 9, issue 4, 346-364

Abstract: Purpose - The second part of a series that aims to provide an alternative viewpoint about the issues surrounding money laundering. Design/methodology/approach - The paper combines narrative with argument and analysis to look closely at how the present state of the money laundering laws which are currently in force have arisen, to a greater or lesser extent, throughout the world. Findings - No real understanding of this phenomenon can be achieved without understanding the political conflicts which are identified by the US approach to world affairs, and the part that the US currency plays in them, because it is as much the influence of the ex‐patriot US dollar which plays such a significant part in the world of funny money control, as any other aspect. Originality/value - This comparative study enables readers to see more clearly the intentions behind the thinking (or lack of it) of those who have implemented the legislative changes, as well as their geo‐political ambitions.
