This is a schematic outline of some of the ideas which are described in more detail in the book Treasure Islands, meticulously researched by Nick Shaxson. If you want to learn more about this topic either read the book, or visit http://treasureislands.org/ or http://www.taxjustice.net/. The Tax Justice Network does a great podcast called the taxcast (just type taxcast into youtube) where you can learn more and hear from some fantastic academics and activists working on this issue.

Correction: When I say "the Jersey Islands" (which is obviously not a place) I mean Jersey and the other Crown dependencies.
