How Our Former Presidents and Prime Ministers Are Still Changing the World: How Our Former Presidents and Prime Ministers Are Still Changing the World
Giles Edwards
The men and women who created today's liberal, democratic, globalized world order may now have left public office, but they have not retired. So, what are they doing, and how does it affect the rest of us? Giles Edwards has interviewed more than 20 former leaders, from Presidents overthrown in coups to winners of Nobel Prizes. He has spent time at their clubs and resorts, spoken to the people who work with them, and probed the organizations and individuals who hire them. From running international organizations to monitoring elections, consulting, lobbying and giving hundred-thousand-dollar speeches, The Ex Men face a dazzling array of opportunities after leaving office, many of them free from any political accountability. But how much do they really achieve with all that soft power? And does all this frantic activity amount to anything more than money-making or legacy-burnishing? In this illuminating investigation, Edwards takes us inside the hidden world of The Ex Men to uncover the many ways in which they wield power, for good and for ill.
