'Excellent insights and analysis showing how corporations and the
rich are addicted to tax avoidance to the detriment of normal
people. Informative and enjoyable to read'
*Prem Sikka, Professor of Accountancy at the University of
Sheffield*
'An important book - it exposes industrial scale tax avoidance
being organised by the Irish elites and enjoyed by the world's
major corporations. It blends detailed research with impressive
insight. It deserves a wide readership'.
*Richard Boyd Barrett: Member of Irish parliament for People Before
Profit*
'An important book that deserves a wide readership. The claims that
Ireland is a tax haven have been growing over recent years. This
book adds important evidence to the claim and makes a passionate
call for a more equal society'
*Professor Eoin Reeves, Head of the Department of Economics,
University of Limerick, Ireland*
'A policy of consistent denial by the government, along with lazy
media treatment of the issue, has meant that Ireland's status as a
tax haven is an ongoing controversy. This book goes a long way in
resolving this argument'
*Terrence McDonough, Emeritus Professor of Economics, NUI Galway,
Ireland*
'A must read for anyone interested in understanding how global
capitalism works in the 21st century'
*Dr Stewart Smyth, Birmingham Business School, University of
Birmingham*
'An extremely important, and possibly the best, book to have been
written about one of the world's biggest and most dangerous tax
havens. It skewers the self-serving myths of crooked Irish elites
to show how going down the tax haven route not only inflicts harm
on other countries - it hurts its own population too'
*Nicholas Shaxson, author 'Treasure Islands: Tax Havens and the Men
who Stole the World' (Vintage, 2011)*
