Global Tax Havens explores the intricate world of offshore finance, revealing how tax havens function and impact global wealth distribution. It examines the political and financial mechanisms that allow individuals and corporations to shield assets, investigating not just low taxes, but the sophisticated ecosystems designed to obscure ownership. One intriguing aspect is how these systems, often defended as matters of privacy, can undermine democratic governance and exacerbate wealth inequality.
The book progresses from basic concepts like tax avoidance and evasion, to in-depth analyses of major tax havens and case studies of prominent scandals. It highlights how regulatory competition and the pursuit of foreign investment have fueled the proliferation of these havens.
The analysis is supported by financial data, leaked documents, and investigative reports. Ultimately, Global Tax Havens offers potential solutions through international cooperation and regulatory reforms, while acknowledging the challenges posed by competing national interests and powerful financial lobbies.
