Everyone knows the super rich are hiding tons of money and not paying near enough taxes. This common knowledge that the wealthy have found ways around taxation by moving their assets to
countries that don’t tax them raises the question of how much of the world’s wealth is hidden and how. Gabriel Zucman, a prominent young French economist, has come up with novel yet effective
ways of quantifying how big the problem is, how tax havens work and are organized, and how we can begin to tackle the problem. Digging deep into the global data and comparing it with that of
individual and international institutions,The Hidden Wealth of Nations offers for the first time a full picture of how this sophisticated international system works and is organized in
practice. It is an invaluable glimpse at one of the most powerful forces contributing to inequality across the globe.
