Treasure Islands by Nicholas Shaxson
Tax Havens and the Men who Stole the World
An exposé of how offshore tax havens and secrecy jurisdictions—many tied to the City of London’s global network—allow corporations and the wealthy to avoid taxes, hide illicit funds, and influence policy while hollowing out public finances and democracy. Tracing the system’s roots from empire to modern deregulation, it details how secrecy, lax regulation, and elite collusion fuel inequality and financial instability, and argues for transparency and robust reforms to restore accountability.
