What happens when the rich are allowed to hide their money in tax havens, and what should we do about it? Dirty Secrets uncovers the extent of the corruption behind the Panama Papers and shows what needs to be done in the face of this unregulated spread of rampant greed. Tax havens, we are often told, are part of the global architecture of capitalism, providing a freedom from regulation necessary to make markets work. Richard Murphy uncovers this lie, showing how this increasingly popular practice threatens the foundations of democracy, sowing mistrust and creating a regime based upon opacity. As Murphy shows, how we manage our economy is a political decision, and one that can be changed. Dirty Secrets proposes ways to regulate tax havens and what the world might look like without them.
