We are well aware of the rise of the 1% percent as the rapid growth of economic inequality has put the majority of the world’s wealth in the pockets of fewer and fewer. One much-discussed solution to this imbalance is to significantly increase the rate at which we tax the wealthy. But with an enormous amount of the world’s wealth hidden in tax havens - in countries like Switzerland, Luxembourg, and the Cayman Islands - this wealth cannot be fully accounted for and taxed fairly. No one, from economists to bankers to politicians, has been able to quantify exactly how much of the world’s assets are currently hidden - until now. Gabriel Zucman is the first economist to offer reliable insight into the actual extent of the world’s money held in tax havens. And it’s staggering.
In The Hidden Wealth of Nations, Zucman offers an inventive and sophisticated approach to quantifying how big the problem is, how tax havens work and are organized, and how we can begin to approach a solution. His research reveals that tax havens are a quickly growing danger to the world economy.
In the past five years, the amount of wealth in tax havens has increased over 25 percent - there has never been as much money held offshore as there is today. This hidden wealth accounts for at least $7.6 trillion, equivalent to 8 percent of the global financial assets of households. Fighting the notion that any attempts to vanquish tax havens are futile, since some countries will always offer more advantageous tax rates than others, as well the counterargument that since the financial crisis tax havens have disappeared, Zucman shows how both sides are actually very wrong.
In The Hidden Wealth of Nations, he offers an ambitious agenda for reform, focused on ways in which countries can change the incentives of tax havens. Only by first understanding the enormity of the secret wealth can we begin to estimate the kinds of actions that would force tax havens to give up their practices.

Always nice to know how the other percent live off of our hard working taxes. Bottoms up 1% here’s to you.
Thanks uploader!

Eliminate income taxes, watch tax havens dry up.
Problem solved.
Not too difficult.

With the onerous taxes placed upon the working class, tax havens are a natural creation.
I lived in a “Socialist Paradise”. Hell on earth!
Give me Capitalism any day of the week.
One of the issues is Congress treats our taxes like their own credit card. How about, no balanced budget, no pay for the politicians? Term limits, and conflict of interest laws for they and their family member my be a good start
The waste, the over spending and the corruption are the real problems.

@apollo “onerous taxes placed upon the working class” That has nothing to do with this book.
The working classes do pay taxes. The 1% for the most part, do not. THAT is the problem.
Collect more from the 1% and you can reduce taxes on the working class.

PS — “no balanced budget, no pay for the politicians”. Underpay politicians and you guarantee corruption. You get millionaires and billionaires as the only ones who can afford to take the job, who write laws to benefit themselves (e.g., real estate dealer, leader of the free world in his spare time).

Predictable to see the meatheads in the comments saying the usual tripe without going over the book. Stop defending billionaire elites you pawns.

@Gweilo … i think you’re talking about the 0.001%… a family income of >500k constitutes the 1%, and they pay around 33% of all personal income tax in America. They’re also responsible for the majority (i.e. >50% - some figures state as much as 75%) of all job creation. The figures for meaningful innovation and new, life-improving technology also fall substantially upon the 1%.
