Africa’s 1%
Posted in: UncategorizedHow the multinational corporate kleptocracy and global tax evasion keeps millions of Sub-Saharan Africans trapped in poverty.
Money taken illegally from the developing world is worth 10 times annual global aid budgets, according to a recent study by a Swedish agency, Forum Syd.
Tax evasions by multinational companies in Africa is so vast that one tax analyst believes that if the money were paid, most of the continent would be “developed” by now.
But, lacking a sophisticated tax code, or the people qualified to enforce tax laws, many African countries continue to lose money that could solve most of its financial problems.
