The Spider's Web: Britain's Second Empire | The Secret World of Finance
Independent POV · 6 recommenders · 8 months
A feature-length documentary on how the City of London and Britain's overseas territories built a global web of offshore secrecy jurisdictions after the empire declined. It traces how this network captured and hid wealth from around the world.
Hacker News 读者推荐理由: Commenters repeatedly recommend it in tax haven and offshore finance threads as an excellent, low-budget overview of British offshore finance.
