People who have robbed the world. True and fiction about modern offshore zones: Nicholas Shakson

This book is about an extremely powerful tool that is used by large financial capital in the battle for political power around the world. The book tells about the emergence and distribution of offshore zones, which have become both support and an ulcer of modern capitalism. Offshores allow the rich to get away from taxes, undermine the basics of legal and financial order, exacerbate inequality and strengthen the lag of poor countries. Who is behind this network that entangled the whole world? How are offshore zones arranged, and why is it unprofitable and dangerous to fight them? How is the next global crisis in these foci of financial instability? The author of the book answers these questions and explains how to neutralize the threat coming from offshore.
