Offshore
Stealth Wealth and the New Colonialism
Book • 2024
In 'Offshore: Stealth Wealth and the New Colonialism', sociologist Brooke Harrington reveals how the global system of offshore finance works and its detrimental effects on democracy, the economy, and public goods.
Harrington spent eight years infiltrating this secretive world by training as a wealth manager and conducting interviews with dozens of wealth managers in nineteen countries.
She uncovers how this system, rooted in the remnants of colonialism, has created a new, hidden imperial class of billionaires who benefit at the expense of the general population.
The book is a vital resource for understanding the deepening economic and political inequality and the most pressing crises of our time.
