Description
An eye-opening account of offshore finance: a secretive system making the rich richer while corroding democracy, capitalism and the environment
Reviews
"A Financial Times best book of the year and one of The New Yorker’s “Political Books to Help Us Make Sense of 2024”"
"Offshore centres sell secrecy. Such secrecy, [Brooke] Harrington argues, is indeed a source of wealth, but also a threat to law-governed democracy." — Martin Wolf, Financial Times, 'Best Books of 2024: Economics'
"You cannot understand the world of the super-rich without reading Brooke Harrington. Literary, intrepid and utterly original, she writes with insight and humour. Offshore is a portrait of plutocracy that is drawn not from statistics but from real-world encounters that the world almost never sees." — Evan Osnos, The New Yorker staff writer and author of Wildland: The Making of America’s Fury
