Jonty Bloom explores income and tax transparency in Norway

Jonty Bloom explores the impact of income and tax transparency on business practice and wider society in Norway.

But in some countries everyone's financial records are publicly available for all to see. And, it can have a profound effect on business practice and wider society, as Jonty Bloom discovers, travelling to Norway.
