Tax Havens
From the Cayman Islands and the Isle of Man to the Principality of Liechtenstein and the state of Delaware, tax havens offer lower tax rates, less stringent regulations and enforcement, and promises of strict secrecy to individuals and corporations alike. In recent years government regulators, hoping to remedy economic crisis by diverting capital from hidden channels back into taxable view, have undertaken sustained and serious efforts to force tax havens into compliance. In Tax Havens, Ronen Palan, Richard Murphy, and Christian Chavagneux provide an up-to-date evaluation of the role and function of tax havens in the global financial system-their history, inner workings, impact, extent, and ...
Multilateral Cooperation in Tax Law
An in-depth analysis of various aspects of multilateral cooperation in tax law Tax evasion and aggressive tax planning causing base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS) has been a widely discussed topic among academics and tax policy makers over the past decades. Increasing globalization and digitalization have contributed to the intensification of this issue in recent years. At the same time, states continue to largely insist on their sovereignty in the area of tax law. However, due to their cross-border nature, issues related to BEPS are shared problems among the states and can typically not be solved by a single nation. Therefore, multilateral cooperation represents an option to build a bri...

Les enjeux de la mondialisation
Ce livre est le dernier d'une série de trois volumes qui ont pour ambition de couvrir les principales questions économiques et sociales contemporaines, à l'échelle nationale, européenne et mondiale. Leur particularité est d'avoir été conçus et écrits par des spécialistes de ces questions – universitaires et chercheurs reconnus – pour des lycéens et des étudiants de premier cycle. Les textes ici réunis se distinguent par trois qualités majeures : il s'agit à chaque fois de synthèses de l'état des connaissances scientifiques ; leur clarté et leur lisibilité les rendent accessibles sans compromettre leur rigueur ; leur problématisation donne du sens aux questions traitées et suscite l'intérêt du lecteur. Afin de mieux répondre encore aux interrogations sur le monde et notre société, en particulier celles qui se rapportent aux multiples crises auxquelles nous sommes confrontés, l'ouvrage a été actualisé et remanié.
Les aventuriers de la finance perdue
Tout ce que vous avez toujours voulu savoir sur la finance... sans jamais oser le demander. L'économiste Christian Chavagneux (Alternatives Économiques, France Inter, etc.) et le dessinateur de presse et de bande dessinée James décryptent avec humour les mécanismes sinueux de la finance internationale.
An Anatomy of Tax Havens
Tax havens in offshore lands like Switzerland, the Cayman Islands and the Bahamas were once considered a rarity, the preserve of the super-rich. Today, they are big business available to the masses. Their goal? To avoid any form of accountability. Own nothing. Possess everything. Be answerable to no one. Where are these tax havens? What forms can they take? What future lies in store for them, and why should we care? An Anatomy of Tax Havens: Europe, the Caribbean and the United States of America answers these questions, and more, in the first comparative study in one volume of European, Caribbean and United States tax havens. It examines their simple origin to the extreme forms some take tod...
What is a Fair International Society?
Today's world is post-colonial and post-Cold War. These twin characteristics explain why international society is also riddled with the two major forms of injustice which Nancy Fraser identified as afflicting national societies. First, the economic and social disparities between states caused outcry in the 1950s when the first steps were taken towards decolonisation. These inequalities, to which a number of emerging states now contribute, are still glaring and still pose the problem of the gap between formal equality and true equality. Second, international society is increasingly confronted with culture- and identity-related claims, stretching the dividing line between equality and differen...
Globalization and Governance
Despite the controversial nature of globalization, there is no doubt that the pace and intensity of global interactions has been multiplied exponentially over the last few decades. Criticism of globalization is generally arranged into three camps: political, economic and cultural. Political critics point to the status of the small state and conclude either that it is in retreat, or that the state has reconstituted itself to confront the challenges posed by globalization, thereby transforming itself into a "competition state." Economic critics hold that globalization is nothing new, that international transactions are in the logic of capitalism and that the trade along the silk route goes bac...
The Generative Power of Hope
This book analyses how and why we are living at a critical moment in the history of human life on earth and explores how we find grounds for the hopes that will enable us to address the challenges and crises of our time. The author analyses hope both practically and philosophically as a generative virtue to realistically discern the situations in which we find ourselves, and imaginatively to anticipate possibilities when the future is unknown and uncertain. The author argues that hope is a mean between anomy, disillusionment, and despair, on the one hand, and wishful thinking, dreaming, and fanaticizing, on the other hand. The book not only examines – and analyzes from a historical perspec...
Une brève histoire des crises financières
La finance a pris une place démesurée dans nos économies, et ses dérapages pèsent lourdement sur le bien-être des populations. Mais il n'est pas facile pour le simple citoyen de comprendre les ressorts de l'instabilité financière, afin d'apprécier la pertinence des politiques qui prétendent la combattre. D'où l'intérêt de revenir sur les grandes crises du passé. Ce livre enlevé fait le récit des plus exemplaires d'entre elles : la fameuse bulle sur les tulipes dans la Hollande du XVIIe siècle ; la première bulle boursière dans la France du Régent ; la crise financière de 1907, qui a conduit à créer la banque centrale des États-Unis. Puis il revient de manière originale sur la crise de 1929, en montrant comment Roosevelt a imposé avec habileté les régulations qui allaient assurer plusieurs décennies de stabilité. Se dessine ainsi une " économie politique des bulles ", dans laquelle s'inscrivent parfaitement le dérapage des subprimes et la crise des dettes publiques en Europe. On comprend mieux alors les mécanismes à l'œuvre, mais aussi le rôle joué par les inégalités, les rapports de forces politiques et les batailles idéologiques.
