The Pandora Paper trail with Jeffrey Sachs
The recent publication of The Pandora Papers, a trove of 12 million financial documents obtained by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, has once again shone a spotlight on secret offshore accounts and tax loopholes.

They also highlight how ineffective governments can be in preventing manipulation of tax rules for the gains of the super rich.
