Wednesday 2nd December The Greatest Invention: Let’s talk about tax

Description: The Tax Justice Network was launched in 2003 to tackle tax dodging by powerful corporations and wealthy elites, and to campaign for global rules to tackle tax havens. Some progress has been made, but a new focus is required on the race-to-the-bottom impulses of politicians like David Cameron, whose hashtag reads #globalrace. TJN’s latest book ‘The Greatest Invention: Tax and the Campaign for a Just Society’ was published on 24th September 2015

Bio – John Christensen directs the Tax Justice Network. Since 1978 he has been investigating tax havens and the powerful nations that support them. His investigations have taken him to over forty countries around the world, including a 14 year stint working in the British tax haven of Jersey.
