Statist politicians and international bureaucracies such as the OECD and UN routinely attack tax havens, claiming that they lead to “harmful tax competition.” Yet at no point do critics bother to provide any evidence for this claim. This mini-documentary that I narrated for the Center for Freedom and Prosperity looks at the empirical data and scholarly research and reports that tax havens actually have a very positive impact on the global economy.

As with my other videos, I very much would like feedback. Indeed, I hope that this video is an improvement over earlier productions (www​.youtube​.com/​a​f​q2007) in large part because of the helpful comments I have received. Needless to say, the video contains a plug at the end for the new book Chris Ewards and I wrote.
