I strongly recommend reading the book. Kleptopeia.
It’s focused on the UK, but portrays the US legal and regulatory as system pretty positive compared the UK/EU (early 2010s).
When justice happens, it tends to happen in America.
Organizations like the FBI, FDIC, and US Attorneys are very powerful compared to their European counterparts.
Courts are much less corrupt as well.
- xwolfi 5y agoThe EU is vast, it's hard to say "EU justice is more corrupt". Maybe Italy is more than NL for instance ? As for the U.S. they operate on principles I disagree with: very heavy prison sentences, focus on lies rather than criminal facts sometimes (like lying to the FBI is more dramatically bad than missing a tax payment), elected AGs if I understood, something we can't do in Europe (it'll turn into plebiscits and push towards political law enforcement brrrr). I'd correct you buy saying: "when justice happens in the US, it tends to be very punitive and detailed", maybe ? I really don't think the U.S. provides fairer reparation than Germany or Sweden, it's just difference legal ideologies.
