This is the ugliest chapter in global economic affairs since slavery - and secretive offshore tax havens are at the heart of the trouble.
Nicholas Shaxson is the author of Poisoned Wells, the Dirty Politics of African Oil, an Associate Fellow of the Royal Institute of International Affairs (Chatham House) and an experienced journalist.
An utterly superb book
*Jeffrey Sachs*
Shaxson combines meticulous research with amusing anecdotes,
resulting in a very readable account of the murky world of offshore
and a strong moral message that the system needs to be changed
*Financial Times*
Excellent... Shaxson comes as close as anyone ever has in getting
the crux of the tax haven conundrum, which is to attempt to answer
the question: why are they tolerated? - Evening Standard
*Evening Standard*
A fascinating, chilling book
*Paul Krugman*
Not just a crucial exposé of the corrupt systems endemic in the
global economy, but also a rousing call to do something about
them
*Sunday Telegraph*
