Most of the public critique of the Western offshore economy so far has focused on the large loss of tax revenue to OECD states through the use of havens by major corporations and individuals. However, in fact, the greatest danger posed by the offshore economy is not a financial threat, but a security one. In his new report, Dealing with the Offshore Economy, Dr. Alan Riley explains how offshore and business practices threaten the West, and how Western democracies should deal with them.
The discussion is joined by Dr. Clay R. Fuller, Jeane Kirkpatrick Fellow, American Enterprise Institute; Dr. Alan Riley, senior fellow, Global Energy Center, Atlantic Council; Dr. Louise Shelley, Omer L. and Nancy Hirst Endowed Chair and professor, Schar School of Policy and Government, George Mason University; and is moderated by Dr. Anders Åslund, senior fellow, Eurasia Center, Atlantic Council.
