Critics Review
“A Financial Times best book of the year and one of The New Yorker’s “Political Books to Help Us Make Sense of 2024””“Offshore centres sell secrecy. Such secrecy, [Brooke] Harrington argues, is indeed a source of wealth, but also a threat to law-governed democracy.” – Martin Wolf - Financial Times, ‘Best Books of 2024: Economics’“You cannot understand the world of the super-rich without reading Brooke Harrington. Literary, intrepid and utterly original, she writes with insight and humour. Offshore is a portrait of plutocracy that is drawn not from statistics but from real-world encounters that the world almost never sees.” – Evan Osnos, The New Yorker staff writer and author of Wildland: The Making of America’s Fury
