Description

In Outlaw Paradise, the author argues that countries become tax havens as a conscious economic development strategy. These countries do not have the natural resources or the population to pursue more traditional economic development strategies, but they do have the ability to write and implement laws that create a virtual resource: banking secrecy. These countries are able to carry out this strategy because they tend to be well-governed, stable, and relatively wealthy, making them attractive partners for the international banking, legal, and accounting firms that drive offshore finance. The qualities tax havens possess also enable them to calculate that the benefits they reap from pursuing this strategy outweigh any penalties assessed by anti-tax haven international collective action activities, such as the naming and shaming campaigns of 2000 and 2009. The author argues that, while the tax havens seem to be complying with the campaigns from a juridical standpoint, actual financial behavior is unaffected. The author further argues that this outcome is predetermined given the nature of international regimes and the history of the concept of sovereignty, as well as tax haven relationships to both. Finally, Outlaw Paradise offers policy prescriptions and surveys recent developments resulting from the Panama Papers. Review The role of tax havens in the global economy has attracted growing academic and public attention. This new book provides a fascinating history of how several important jurisdictions became tax havens. It then addresses an important puzzle that is central to understanding the role of havens - how have havens been able to survive and continue to thrive even in the face of multilateral anti-haven initiatives by major countries and international organizations in the 21st century? The book generates important new insights into this question, and makes a significant contribution to understanding the history and role of tax havens.--Dhammika Dharmapala, University of Chicago About the Author Charles A.
