The next financial crisis? Offshore and the trillion dollar derivatives market: podcast

In the September 2015 Tax Justice Network podcast:

The next financial crisis? We look at offshore and the trillion dollar derivatives market. Plus: we discuss how Mexico’s trying to force multinational companies to pay more tax, how recent market madness originating in China shows why we need a Financial Transactions Tax more than ever, and why the recent election by a landslide of UK opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn is a game-changer.

“We’ve now entered what I think of as a third wave of global financial shocks” John Christensen, Tax Justice Network

“We’re talking about 100s of trillions of dollars-worth of notional contracts outstanding which potentially pose very grave risks to ultimate financial stability” Nick Shaxson, author of Treasure Islands

Featuring: John Christensen of the Tax Justice Network, US Senator Sherrod Brown, Lisa Donner of Americans for Financial Reform and author of Treasure Islands Nicholas Shaxson. Produced and presented for @TaxJusticeNet by @Naomi_Fowler. The Tax Justice Network writes a daily blog and their podcast @TheTaxcast is out once a month. You can subscribe to the Tax Justice Network youtube channel here where the podcast is also available.
