Offshore

In "Offshore: Stealth Wealth and the New Colonialism," sociologist Brooke Harrington investigates how the ultra-rich utilize offshore finance to evade taxes and regulations, effectively creating a hidden imperial class. Drawing on interviews with wealth managers across nineteen countries, Harrington exposes the detrimental effects of this system on democracy, the economy, and public goods. The audiobook unfolds the historical roots of offshore finance, illustrating its role in widening economic and political inequality while benefiting a select few at the expense of the broader society.
