Banking in the Shadows of Jersey

Made by: zoe young

Synopsis

Join us on a visit to the sea side - the dark side of global finance... Tax is the foundation of good government and a key to the wealth or poverty of nations. Tax havens provide facilities for people or entities to get around the rules, laws and regulations of other jurisdictions, using secrecy as their prime tool.

More Info

The corrupted international infrastructure allowing élites to escape tax and regulation is also widely used by criminals and terrorists. As a result, tax havens are heightening inequality and poverty, corroding democracy, distorting markets, undermining financial and other regulation and curbing economic growth, accelerating capital flight from poor countries, and promoting corruption and crime around the world.
