The Rise of the Offshore World

CONFLICTED

An ex-Al Qaeda jihadi turned MI6 spy and a former monk turned filmmaker, have been embedded at the heart of conflicts in the Middle East. Together Aimen Dean and Thomas Small unpack the realities of war, fundamentalism and their global implications through first-hand experience.

In this Conflicted Conversation, Ian Kumekawa (a fellow of Harvard University and a lecturer at MIT) talks about his book Empty Vessel: The Story of the Global Economy in One Ship.

Ian explains:

 The offshore global economy: where loopholes, ships and responsibility slip beyond ordinary jurisdiction

 From Little Toot to rusting barges: how industrial capitalism lost its confident postwar world

 Sweden’s socialist shipyards, private tax dodges, and the strange birth of the Vessel

 Containerisation’s hidden cost: how global trade hollowed out Manhattan’s working waterfront

 The Falklands War, Thatcherism, and the private infrastructure behind imperial sovereignty

 New York’s floating prison: mass incarceration meets offshore legal ingenuity

 Wall Street goes offshore onshore: banks, deregulation and International Banking Facilities

 Neoliberalism, legality and injustice: when the modern economy makes the immoral lawful
