Thank you Oliver Bullough and thank you everyone who attended the event yesterday! We couldn’t have asked for a more relevant, eye-opening topic. If you didn’t get the chance to attend and would like to learn how South Dakota has become “the new Switzerland” you can get your copy of “Moneyland: The Inside Story of the Crooks and Kleptocrats Who Rule the World” at the Augustana bookstore!

Here’s a link to Oliver’s interview with SDPB https://listen.sdpb.org/post/moneyland-author-oliver-bullough
