Publisher's Synopsis
How do governments hide $1 trillion in public funds each year? What does this mean for global inequality and democracy? Can transparency stop the shadow economy-and save our future?
A shocking exposé on the $1 trillion shadow economy that threatens global stability-and a bold plan to stop it. How Governments Conceal Wealth in the Global Shadow Economy: Hidden Fortunes uncovers the hidden crisis of government wealth concealment, where nations from the U.S. to the British Virgin Islands hide billions, fueling corruption, deepening inequality, and eroding democracy. Delaware alone conceals $50 billion in government funds yearly, while small nations like the Cayman Islands shelter $80 billion, building empires on secrecy, as per a 2024 Global Forum on Transparency report. The cost? Millions are denied healthcare and education, while elites prosper in the shadows. This isn't just a warning-it's a battle plan. Drawing on cutting-edge research and real-world cases, this book reveals how transparency can transform economies, boosting GDP by 15% (World Bank, 2024) and slashing inequality by 25% (Oxfam, 2024). Learn how blockchain and AI are already recovering $7 billion in hidden funds, and how global reforms could reclaim $500 billion annually. From advocating for public registries to supporting whistleblowers, How Governments Conceal Wealth in the Global Shadow Economy: Hidden Fortunes arms you with practical steps to fight back-whether you're a citizen, policymaker, or investor. If you care about economic justice, democratic accountability, or the future of global finance, this book is your wake-up call. Join the movement to expose hidden wealth and build a fairer world.
