#2  Politics, Rule of Law and Tax

Loading player...
In this episode, we dive into the intricate connections between politics, the rule of law, and global economics—where money laundering plays a central role. From corporate power and tax havens to the unintended consequences of globalization, we explore how illicit financial flows distort economies, deepen inequality, and undermine democracy. With billions of dollars hidden offshore, governments lose vital resources needed for infrastructure, healthcare, and education, widening the wealth gap.

Is money laundering as serious as climate change? Absolutely. It fuels corruption, strengthens organized crime, and weakens financial systems worldwide. We’ll unpack how compliance efforts often fall short and why financial institutions face an uphill battle against an ever-evolving global network of illicit finance. Join the conversation and challenge the narratives shaping our economic reality.
