@MForstater @theukgold @iaincampbell07 @hselftax @alexcobham yes, that was my sole point,

@JudithFreedman @MForstater don't really see how one can reach any other conclusion from Nick's book, unless one wilfully avoids it.

@theukgold @JudithFreedman - The book does not analyse causes of poverty to say what is ‘single most important’

@MForstater @JudithFreedman What might $21 trillion do for sovereign economies/states? Esp those in global south? http://bbc.in/1EBtU2c 

@theukgold 1) Henry does not claim $21tn belongs to govts 2) His estimate mainly relates 2 wealth of residents of rich& mid-income countries

@MForstater so those territories relying on zero tax rates & layered opacity are for?

@theukgold - there is a discussion to be had on the impacts of havens. But overclaiming & using numbers interchangeably is no basis for it.

@MForstater and have seen no credible evidence at all for 'over claiming' as you put it.
