Summary This book attempts to unveil the sordid world of anonymous shell corporations. Posing as twenty-one different international consultants, the authors approached nearly 4,000 services in over 180 countries to discover just how easy it is to form an untraceable company. Combining quantitative analysis, qualitative investigation of responses and lurid news reports, this book offers a novel, new approach to the field of political science research
