L'Affaire des affaires #1
L'Argent invisible
Attention, L'Affaire des affaires est un livre qui n'a aucun équivalent en bande dessinée. Un journaliste, romancier, Denis Robert, avec la collaboration de Yan Lindingre, raconte à la première personne sa vie (mouvementée), de son passage à Libé dans les années 90 à sa mise en examen dans l'affaire Clearstream. Le livre explique d'une façon limpide les mécanismes (paradis fiscaux, banques offshore, manque de coopération entre Etats) qui permettent au crime organisé de prendre ses aises dans la nouvelle économie, mais rend également compte des blocages de la justice. Laurent Astier au trait acéré, transforme le tout en un incroyable thriller politico-financier et brosse le portrait, criant de réalisme d'une planète économique et médiatique où l'information devient l'ennemi à abattre.
