Nicholas Shaxson, Treasure Islands. Uncovering the Damage of Offshore Banking and Tax Havens, Palgrave Macmillan, New York 2011. If you want to know the thinking of the adversaries of tax competition, this is the best book. The author does not provide any escape for victims of excessive taxation except the tax havens he describes quite well.
