Unmasking Trillions: How Data Architecture Can Solve Global Tax Evasion

Every year, an estimated $480 billion in tax revenue vanishes into thin air—funnelled through a labyrinth of shell companies, hidden bank accounts, and anonymous trusts. In 2016, the world watched in awe as the Panama Papers leaked 11.5 million financial documents, exposing the secretive offshore holdings of world leaders, billionaires, and celebrities. But while investigative journalists rely on luck and whistleblowers to expose these scandals, data architect Martyn Rhisiart Jones offers a permanent solution in his book, Revealing Wealth: Combatting Tax Evasion with Data, Political Will and Technology.

In an age defined by algorithms, trillion-dollar tech companies, and data flowing across borders at the speed of light, one of the oldest problems in civilisation persists: how the wealthy avoid paying their share of tax. In Revealing Wealth, Martyn Jones argues that the real scandal is not simply that tax evasion exists, but that in a data-rich world we still allow it to thrive.

The Ultimate Power Lunch: Twelve Women and a Question of Heroism

It is a truth universally acknowledged that if you put twelve women of significant historical consequence into a single hypothetical green room, someone will eventually ask a deeply earnest icebreaker question.
