JOSEPH E. STIGLITZ AND MARK PIETH – THE REAL SCANDAL BEHIND THE PANAMA PAPERS
I’ll confess that my jaw dropped when I looked beyond the headlines about the Panama Papers last spring and began to read the fine print. “Panama Papers” is shorthand for the widely publicized report of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, originally published on April 3, 2016.
