Tax Haven Ireland by Kieran Allen

Tax Haven Ireland by Kieran Allen

An expose of how incredible wealth is funnelled through a country without benefiting its people

'Excellent insights and analysis showing how corporations and the rich are addicted to tax avoidance to the detriment of normal peopleInformative 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)
