● The Hidden Globe: How Wealth Hacks the World
Atossa Araxia Abrahamian
Review via The New York Times
The rise and spread of these “extraterritorial domains” is the subject of Atossa Araxia Abrahamian’s new book, “The Hidden Globe: How Wealth Hacks the World.” Abrahamian, a journalist who grew up in Geneva, a city rife with enclaves “bound by some Swiss laws, but immune from others,” traces the development of such zones, talking to some of the people who made them happen, including a few who regret their role in helping countries excise pieces of themselves in the name of allowing the already privileged to become even wealthier.
