书籍介绍

2019: democracy is eating itself, inequality is skyrocketing, the system is breaking apart. Why?

Because in 1962, some bankers in London had an idea that changed the world. That idea was called 'offshore'. It meant that, for the first time, thieves could dream big. They could take everything.

Join investigative journalist Oliver Bullough on a journey into the hidden world of the new global kleptocrats.

See the poor countries where public money is stolen and the rich ones where it is laundered and invested. Watch the crooks at work and at play, and meet their respectable, white-collar enablers. Learn how the new system works and begin to see how we can tackle it.

司法权是有国界的 但是资本没有 美国靠着金融霸权主义成了最大的onshore税务天堂
文笔一般,跳着看了一点。只想说天下乌鸦一般黑,一切都源自于欲望贪婪。为了私欲什么手段都可以用,合法的不合法的。天下根本没有新鲜事。

或许是开篇刷新三观后期望过高的缘故,后期读来有些乏味了。作者通过详尽的调查,把金钱帝国的缘起、运作机制解释得相当清晰。钱从腐败的土壤中生,却成长在所谓民主透明的发达国家的法律和会计精英们撑起的保护伞下,没有谁是清白的。
全球化与金融化的阴暗面、真实版窃钩者诛窃国者侯、个人年度十佳。收割者利用银行家、会计、律师的私人服务,一步步完成了偷盗-藏匿-消费,让普罗大众成为了现代奴隶。本书无关意识形态与政治制度,因为金钱已经超越了一切。即便看完之后改变不了自身只能过上普通生活的现实,但对于权贵世界的运行法则也增添几许深刻的认识。ps:GP买的台版,自己把竖排改成了横排,学术交流用途可以私下找我拿这本书。
写的一般,很多论点很浅显
看了一眼富人的世界 然后感叹 其实知道了又能怎样
so what?
Very informative and well-researched! Learned about the inner workings of moneyland where the super rich hide their money.
