The Finance Curse: How Global Finance Is Making Us All Poorer is a work of investigative political economy by Nicholas Shaxson, a journalist known for writing on tax havens, offshore wealth, and the resource curse. The book challenges the common belief that a large financial sector automatically brings national prosperity through jobs, tax revenue, investment, and global prestige. Shaxson argues instead that finance can become oversized, politically dominant, and economically extractive, turning from a useful service into a burden on the wider economy. Its focus is especially strong on Britain and the City of London, but the argument extends to global financial centers, tax havens, private equity, hedge funds, monopoly power, and deregulation. The book combines reporting, historical explanation, policy critique, and economic research to show how financialization can weaken productive industry, increase inequality, distort democracy, and reward rent extraction over real value creation.
