The Spider’s Web: Britain’s Second Empire | The Secret World of Finance

The Spider’s Web: Britain’s Second Empire | The Secret World of Finance Michael Oswald’s film The Spider’s Web reveals how at the demise of the empire, the City of London’s financial interests created a web of secrecy jurisdictions that captured wealth from across the globe and hid it in a web of offshore islands. Today, up to half of global offshore wealth is hidden in British jurisdictions and Britain and its dependencies are the largest global players in The Secret World of Finance. #TheSpidersWeb #SecretWorldOfFinance #BritainSecondEmpire #OffshoreTaxHavens #GlobalFinance #FinancialInfluence #Documentary ⌚ Timestamps: 0:00 Introduction 2:22 The British Empire 4:33 The Eurodollar Market 6:54 The Last Remnants of Empire 9:37 The Corporation of London 13:28 The Bank of Credit and Commerce International 16:53 Trusts 23:27 Who is in charge of Britain’s Overseas Territories? 28:35 Global Financial Centers and Empire 37:15 How America Embraced Offshore Finance 42:15 Growth of Offshore Finance and Corruption 48:05 Whistleblowers 54:54 Politicians and Financial Secrecy 1:01:35 Accountants 1:07:20 Protesters Confront Dave Hartnett 1:10:27 Private Finance Initiative 1:13:42 Conclusion __________________________________ ❂If you enjoy this please like, and share ❂Press the bell 🔔 for more updates. ❂Share your opinion in the comments.
