The Hidden Globe: How Wealth Hacks the World
Atossa Araxia Abrahamian · 2024
🎙 Narrated by Patrick Harrison
88/100
👍 Worth It
Abrahamian's reporting here is the real deal — the Washington Post and New York Times both named it a best book of the year, and her on-the-ground journalism into offshore tax havens and freeports is sharp, original, and genuinely eye-opening. Patrick Harrison's narration is professionally produced for the Audible/Picador edition, and while the subject matter runs dense, this one's absolutely worth the listen.
