The Role of Free Ports in War, Banking Secrecy, and Post-Brexit Recovery

This chapter explores how free ports benefit from war, weapons trade, and resource extraction for profit, Switzerland's involvement in banking secrecy and recent freezing of Russian assets, and the potential of free ports in recovering lost capital post-Brexit. It also discusses the opening of a new environmentally friendly free port in the UK, the disparity in tax benefits between individuals and corporations, and the criticism surrounding free ports as tax havens and loopholes benefiting private entities and politicians.
