Offshore: The Dark Side of the Global Economy

by William Brittain-catlin

Offshore: The Dark Side of the Global Economy Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

An unknown realm to many investors, offshore finance allows giant corporations--such as Wal-Mart, British Petroleum, and Citigroup--to legally keep huge profits out of sight of regulators and the public.
 
William Brittain-Catlin tells the story of how tax havens in the Caribbean and elsewhere have become central to global finance today. He takes us through the secret networks of Enron and Parmalat, behind international trade disputes, and into organized crime and terror. This book gives disquieting evidence that, as a result of offshore practices, the key value of capitalism and civilization alike--freedom--is being put in grave danger.

Synopsis:

A revealing and chilling expose on the hidden side of global wealth and power shows how tax havens have become central to global finance. The author asserts that offshore practices put capitalism and freedom in grave danger.

About the Author

William Brittain-Catlin has worked as a BBC producer and as an investigator for the corporate investigations firm Kroll Associates. He lives in London.
