DESCRIPTION:
It's an almost perfect tale for the 21st century - the failure of democracy, the triumph of commercial power and greed, greed, greed.' -- Nick Davies, special correspondent, Guardian 'With precision and purpose, The Panama Papers is what "Follow the Money" means.' -- Bob Woodward, The Washington Post 'The biggest leak in the history of data journalism' -- Edward Snowden 'The fascinating struggle of David against Goliath A brilliantly written book.' Frankfurter Rundschau . 'Their book should be read
Ultimate eye-opener on the business of hiding money! Amazing body of work based on a huge amount of private company data provided by an anonymous whistleblower employee of one of the most notorious law firms who set up shell companies offshore in international tax havens. The technical workings are beyond my knowledge of financial doings, but the writers make the points quite digestible as to the damage this "other world" of the super-wealthy does to society as a whole. EVERYONE who cares about income inequality should read this book!!! Only well-informed peop. Chris said Fascinating memoir. This is a fascinating and relatively quick read. I was expecting to see much more detail about specific transactions from the tax haven universe, but it turned out to be a memoir of the experience of uncovering a massive series of scandals. If you know nothing about offshore finance, and want an easy introduction, I absolutely recommend this. If you're an expert and want to understand how investigative journalists uncovered the details, it's also very good.. "A must read. Now everyone can understand why corrupt" according to Mario Faria. A must read. Now everyone can understand why corrupt politicians, dictators, drugs and arms dealers, FIFA officials, some non-profit organizations are all the same
