The Spider's Web: Britain's Second Empire (2017)
As the British Empire waned, financial elites in the City of London established a complex network of offshore secrecy jurisdictions, allowing vast wealth to be concealed through convoluted financial arrangements across various islands. Today, an estimated half of the world's offshore wealth is shrouded in these British territories, positioning the UK as a dominant force in international finance. "The Spider's Web" explores the origins of this financial web and its profound implications on global economics, raising critical questions about accountability and transparency in a world increasingly defined by hidden wealth.
