摘要

摘要:金融保密制度的扩张和庞大正在以惊人的程度破坏民主。这个体系扭曲了资本主义及其精英与税收和公共领域的关系，以至于强大的既得利益集团现在依附于一个金融体系，这个金融体系a)掩盖了盗贼统治、犯罪和外国干涉，b)加剧了不平等，而正是由于这个体系的保密性，这种不平等在某种程度上被忽视了。公共领域的现状表明，拥有保密制度的资本主义已变得越来越难以让一个民主政体问责。了解金融保密体系的结构，就可以确定如何进行解构。

How Financial Secrecy Undermines Democracy

Abstract: The expansion and sheer enormity of the financial-secrecy system is undermining democracy to an alarming extent. This system has distorted capitalism and its elites' relationship to taxation and the public realm to such an extent that powerful vested interests are now attached to a financial system that a) conceals kleptocracy, crime, and foreign interference, and b) exacerbates inequality to a degree unrecognized precisely because of the system's secrecy. The state of the public realm shows that capitalism with a secrecy system has become increasingly hard for a democratic polity to hold accountable. Understanding the architecture of the financial-secrecy system, one can identify how to conduct its deconstruction.
