Join us for the third lecture in our Offshore Talks series with Brooke Harrington, author of Offshore: Stealth Wealth and the New Colonialism.

In her latest book, economic sociologist Brooke Harrington exposes how the shadowy global system of offshore finance fuels economic crises and austerity while also undermining democracy and the rule of law. As politicians struggle to address the deepening economic and political inequality destabilizing the world, Harrington’s exposé of the offshore system is a vital resource for understanding the most pressing crises of our time.

This event promises a thought-provoking exploration of the hidden mechanisms that enable wealth to escape taxation, regulation, and accountability. Drawing on years of immersive research, Harrington will reveal how offshore finance shapes global power structures and impacts everyday lives.

Join us for an engaging discussion, followed by a Q&A session, where you’ll have the opportunity to delve deeper into the implications of her research.
