Where do I start? Do you really believe Niall Ferguson when he says that all trade is good trade? But let me address the hidden money issue. I worked for one multi-billionaire who set up offshore "parts" manufacturing to act as a middle man supplier to offshore companies. He inflated the costs to the company so that he and the other executives could extract billions. At another company offshore "services" were set up to do various fake consulting engagements. We are talking billions and billions for the executives. There were literally mazes of offshore companies through different countries, with many different classes of stock - owned by various groups of executives, bankers, and competitors (as payments for helping kill common competitors or dropping products to create effective monopolies in market segments.) So maybe you really believe the things you're saying...they are the standard propaganda. But I've been working with the guys who have figured out how to legally hide their money - so I know better.
