An expert and accessible exploration of the scale and impact of global tax avoidance. From corporate to individual tax abuse, it explains why this is such an important issue, and what we can do change it. There is increasing public anger over tax injustice. From multinational companies to wealthy elites. In a post-pandemic recession, these issues are getting more media and academic coverage, too.
