CIPE Executive Director Andrew Wilson at the Atlantic Council Freedom and Prosperity Center’s Global Prosperity Forum: “Corrosive capital is a phenomenon of capital from authoritarian states that enters markets and has a corrosive effect on the rule of law in those markets because they promote corruption or they encourage governments to ignore their own laws, labors, and standards. By its nature, like water through cracks, corrosive capital corrodes the rule of law in the country that it’s working in.” #Path2Prosperity
