Summary:A Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist takes us inside the world revealed by the Panama Papers, a landscape of illicit money, political corruption, and fraud on a global scale. Jake Bernstein offers a disturbing and sobering view of how the world really works and raises crucial questions about financial and legal institutions we may once have trusted.
Leaked documents from the Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca-- now known as the Panama Papers-- detail how shell companies operate, how they allow the superwealthy and celebrities to escape taxes, and how they provide cover for illicit activities on a massive scale by crime bosses and corrupt politicians across the globe. Bernstein uncovers who is involved, how they operate, and the real-world impact. He speculates on what lies ahead for the corporations, banks, law firms, individuals, and governments that are implicated.
