What did you learn from the Panama Papers? That African, Russian,
Ukrainian and Asian 'elites' are corrupt? Well, this should have been
known a for long time, with or without Panama Papers. Sure, it's never
bad when stories about the international financial system's obfuscation
machinery get out, provoking a political debate for at least a couple
of days. That these debate have no political consequences, is part of
the choreography. Next week, there's some other "news of the day", only
a month later, nobody will know remember the exact spelling of Mossack
Fonseca. These are firm rituals of our attention economy that we can't
change.
To quote sarcastic grin of Putin's press secretary: "Quality investigative journalism has fallen into oblivion."
