This Economist magazine editorial says two actions need to be taken after the Panama Papers scandal. Registers showing real beneficiaries not just "nominees" used to obscure the real owners, should be made for people using these tax havens. The second action is to make it a criminal offense to enable tax evasion. If banks are being policed for money laundering, why should these tax haven law firms and other firms not also be policed for money laundering or tax evasion activities, asks the Economist.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
