Informationen zum Autor Nicholas Shaxson Klappentext Tax havens are the most important single reason why poor people and poor countries stay poor.

Engrossing, urgent and deeply researched, it's essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the corruption at the heart of the global economy and how it can be stopped.
