Abstract
ABSTRACT:Some conspiracy theorists swear there’s a tiny spider in the top-right corner of the one-dollar bill. The fine lines around the border of the banknote certainly look like a tightly spun web. But you don’t have to believe that U.S. currency contains hidden iconography to see value in the metaphor. Kimberly Kay Hoang’s recent book, Spiderweb Capitalism, uses the image of a spiderweb to evoke the shadowy global network of lawyers, accountants, administrators, and other “fixers” who help illicitly move wealth around the world in order to help the ultra-rich avoid paying taxes.
摘要:一些阴谋论者声称，一美元纸币的右上角有一只小蜘蛛。钞票边缘周围的细纹看起来就像一张织得很紧的网。但你不必相信美元包含隐藏的图像，就能看出这个比喻的价值。金伯利·凯·黄(Kimberly Kay Hoang)的新书《蜘蛛网资本主义》(Spiderweb Capitalism)用蜘蛛网的形象来描绘一个由律师、会计师、行政管理人员和其他“中间人”组成的阴暗的全球网络，这些人帮助在全球范围内非法转移财富，以帮助超级富豪避税。
