The Hidden Wealth Nations : The Scourge of Tax Havens
Gabriel Zucman · 2015
🎙 Narrated by Sean Pratt
86/100
👍 Worth It
Zucman's dig into offshore tax havens is the real deal — rigorous, data-driven, and genuinely called the gold standard in policy circles for quantifying how much wealth hides from taxation. It's dense subject matter but written to be approachable, even if some of the original figures are dated by now. Sean Pratt's steady narration makes the numbers go down easy, worth it for a serious, well-reviewed look at global inequality and tax policy.
