Opinion | Toxic tax dodging and 'The Amazon Method'
The Amazon example reveals the pitfalls of globalization. The unrelenting rise of multinational corporations has brought with it a concentration of wealth in the hands of the few, at the expense of the many. Global companies like Amazon now control about half of world trade. The 500 largest corporations in the world amass over €25 trillion in revenue annually – almost twice the EU's gross domestic product – and their collective profits also go into the trillions.
How do they do it? Tax dodging plays a key role. The transactions and financial flows between affiliates of the same corporation are the building blocks of the tax avoidance schemes that enable such immense concentration of wealth. Corporations thus aggressively exploit loopholes based on differences between jurisdictions and their various inadequate tax regulations.

Scaling SaaS: How to emulate Europe's titans and supercharge your software company's growth |

In Europe, we have seen the rapid rise of a number of transformative software, and especially Software-as-a-service (SaaS), businesses over the last decade. SaaS companies are now widely recognized as the engines that are powering much of the growth of the European tech ecosystem.
