An estimated eight percent of the world’s household financial wealth is held in offshore tax haven. On this week’s media roundtable, we’ll speak with Pulitzer prize-winning journalist Jake Bernstein about his new book Secrecy World: Inside the Panama Papers Investigation of Illicit Money Networks and the Global Elite.
The book chronicles the evolution of the offshore world and details how tax havens let the super-rich and corporations hide their money to avoid paying taxes.
