[spectre] Glass houses, Roman numerals and shady worlds.

Sorry for any cross postings,

Glass houses, Roman numerals and shady worlds. Annet Dekker in 
conversation with Femke Herregraven.

Annet Dekker interviews graphic designer Femke Herregraven about her 
latest online game Taxodus, a game about offshore tax avoidance. Taxodus 
is an accessible way to discover how you can avoid paying taxes, and if 
you can’t get away with it completely, how you can make sure you pay the 
lowest possible amount. "My primary intention, says Femke, is to make 
these flows of money visible and question them, because once it’s out in 
the open people can decide for themselves if this is our idea of a 
sustainable economy."

‘About 50% of global trade is channelled through tax havens and 83 of 
the 100 largest multinationals are based in the Netherlands for fiscal 
reasons. The flow of money seeks the path of least resistance – but 
where exactly do those paths lie today?’ Taxodus is an accessible way to 
discover how you can avoid paying taxes, and if you can’t get away with 
it completely, how you can make sure you pay the lowest possible amount.
