Praise for The Price We Pay:
“Director Harold Crooks’ well-crafted documentary offers a concise, engrossing and occasionally infuriating overview of the ways multinationals avoid taxes by stashing profits in offshore havens.” Variety
“Rush out and catch Le Prix à Payer, a stunning, nail-it-to-the -wall Canadian documentary where bankers speak uninhibitedly about tax havens and top celebrity economists let it all hang out… A terrifying picture of an all-powerful market living way above the law.” Jean-Jacques Rue, Siné Mensuel
“Harold Crooks has revitalised the documentary treatment (of tax havens) by addressing the key political question: the loss of tax revenues are a direct strike at democracy itself . . . Using their influence, the ultra rich and multinationals have successfully morphed the notion of ‘no taxation without representation’ into ‘representation of our interests, without taxation.’ The oligarchs have taken over. Worse, according to John Christensen . . . fascism now roams freely across Europe.” Christian Chavagneux, Alternatives Economiques
