Understanding "transfer pricing": how corporations dodge taxes through financial colonialism

Transfer pricing is a huge issue in the fair taxation of multinationals, but I’m not sure about slapping the colonialism label onto it.

All countries lose from this, and it is the larger countries with the strictest tax regimens and well-developed states that are targeted for the most tax avoidance.

I’d also say that of course it is an attempt to subvert democracy all over the world, - undermining the possibility of social democracy by hiding the money that should be paying for it, and welding the loopholes in place through the pushing of “free trade agreements” which contain protections for " intellectual property" and “trade in services” and allow for corporations to sue any country that tries to stop them.
