The Hidden Globe by Atossa Araxia Abrahamian
5 out of 10Raised in Switzerland, this globetrotting author has something to say about the world order. Multinational corporations and international political organizations evade taxes, lobby for exemptions, seek diplomatic immunity, bank at the same banks as drug dealers, fly with antiquity thieves, jump through legal loopholes, pit rival jurisdictions against each other, become bedfellows with regulators, and relocate to corrupt havens. But what about worker protections? Asylum seekers? Refugees? Stateless people? Maritime law? Outer space law? Is it unjust that weaker nations are often coerced by stronger ones? Abrahamian is an advocate for much more global cooperation.
