“A timely account of how the 1% holds on to their wealth…Ought to keep wealth managers awake at night.”
―Wall Street Journal
“Harrington advises governments seeking to address inequality to focus not only on the rich but also on the professionals who help them game the system.”
―Richard Cooper, Foreign Affairs
“An insight unlike any other into how wealth management works.”
―Felix Martin, New Statesman
“One of those rare books where you just have to stand back in awe and wonder at the author’s achievement…Harrington offers profound insights into the world of the professional people who dedicate their lives to meeting the perceived needs of the world’s ultra-wealthy.”
―Times Higher Education
How do the ultra-rich keep getting richer, despite taxes on income, capital gains, property, and inheritance? Capital without Borders tackles this tantalizing question through a groundbreaking multi-year investigation of the men and women who specialize in protecting the fortunes of the world’s richest people. Brooke Harrington followed the money to the eighteen most popular tax havens in the world, interviewing wealth managers to understand how they help their high-net-worth clients dodge taxes, creditors, and disgruntled heirs―all while staying just within the letter of the law. She even trained to become a wealth manager herself in her quest to penetrate the fascinating, shadowy world of the guardians of the one percent.

Certamente, sabemos que o dinheiro abre muitas portas e que “dinheiro atrai dinheiro”. Este livro nos desperta para a diferença crucial entre rendimentos e capital, além de explorar as reais oportunidades e os possíveis impactos econômicos e sociais do acúmulo de grandes fortunas que acabam se tornando patrimônios duradouros, atravessando gerações.

I’ve been doing a lot of study of late on the current FIRE sector (I was once a risk analyst in subprime), focused in particular on issues of corruption / white-collar crime, pluto-kleptocracy, and socioeconomic (in)justice. Dr. Harrington’s book kept me glued to the pages. Her writing style is exemplary—i.e., it’s so smoothly eloquent it’s invisible, leaving you with frictionless absorption of her broad and deep material and her analyses.The explications of the historical underpinnings of what is now hyper-mobile capital were great fun to read.Quadrangulate this book with Pistor’s “The Code of Capital,” Chayes’ “Corruption in America,” and Burgis’ “Kleptopia” and you will have a disconcertingly clear picture of things. The challenges to Democracy are rather stark. Highly recommend this book.
