With Oxfam estimating that 1 percent of the global population will own more than half the world's assets by 2016, and policymakers voicing increasingly urgent concerns about the political impact of inequality, this book offers a timely look at the evolution and activities of this central group of players. To understand the workings of their profession, and its complex legal and financial innovations, the author spent two years training to become a wealth manager herself. This experience gave her unique access to practitioners and their methods, and the opportunity to conduct over 60 interviews with wealth managers in 17 countries, from Switzerland to the British Virgin Islands, and from Singapore to South Africa. The findings shed light on the dynamics of growing world wealth inequality, and how they are fueled by political and economic forces. The research will inform ongoing debates about globalization and financialization, in part by making abstract issues concrete and easy to understand for a general readership. Capital without Borders explains the use of offshore banks, shell corporations, and trusts to hide billions in private wealth not only from taxation, but from all manner of legal obligations--including to creditors and family members. Such insights will be of interest not only to scholars and policy-makers, but to anyone interested in the world of wealth and high finance.--$$cProvided by publisher. 000760560 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000760560 650_0 $$aFinancial planners. 000760560 650_0 $$aGlobalization$$xEconomic aspects. 000760560 650_0 $$aWealth. 000760560 650_0 $$aWealth$$xMoral and ethical aspects. 000760560 650_0 $$aIncome distribution. 000760560 650_0 $$aInternational finance. 000760560 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aHarrington, Brooke, 1968-$$tCapital without borders.$$dCambridge, Massachusetts : Harvard University Press, 2016$$z9780674743809$$w(DLC) 2016010534$$w(OCoLC)944339474 000760560 852__ $$bacq 000760560 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central 000760560 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=4707745$$zOnline Access 000760560 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:760560$$pGLOBAL_SET 000760560 980__ $$aEBOOK 000760560 980__ $$aBIB 000760560 982__ $$aEbook 000760560 983__ $$aOnline
