Why Your Haircut Costs More Every Year (And Your TV Set Costs Less)

Atossa Araxia Abrahamian's 'The Hidden Globe: How Wealth Hacks the World' investigates the clandestine systems that enable the world's wealthiest individuals and corporations to operate beyond the reach of conventional laws. The book uncovers a network of freeports, charter cities, and offshore havens that provide loopholes and tax shelters for the global elite. Abrahamian argues that these parallel structures undermine national sovereignty and exacerbate economic inequality. She exposes how the wealthy exploit these systems to accumulate and protect their assets, often at the expense of ordinary citizens. Through meticulous research and compelling storytelling, Abrahamian sheds light on a hidden world where wealth and power circumvent the rules.

This book, inspired by the popular Planet Money podcast, delves into the hidden world of everyday economics. It provides an accessible and informative exploration of how economic forces shape our lives, making complex issues understandable for everyone.
