This book explores one of the most dynamic and exciting aspects of globalization international tax competition. With rising mobility and soaring capital flows, individuals and businesses are gaining freedom to work and invest in nations with lower tax rates. That freedom is pressuring governments to cut taxes on income, investment, and wealth. In Global Tax Revolution, Chris Edwards and Daniel Mitchell chronicle tax reforms around the world in recent decades. They describe the dramatic business tax cuts of Ireland, the flight of successful people from high-tax France, and the introduction of simple flat taxes in more than two dozen nations. Like other aspects of globalization, tax competition is generating intense political opposition. Numerous governments and international organizations are fighting to restrict tax cuts. Edwards and Mitchell challenge those efforts, arguing that tax competition is helping to advance prosperity, expand human rights, and rein in bloated governments. The authors argue that the U.S. economy can be revitalized by embracing competition and overhauling the federal tax code. They discuss how current tax rules suppress wages and investment and describe the tax changes needed for workers and businesses to succeed in the fast-paced global economy. Rather than idly complaining about jobs and capital moving offshore, this book argues that policymakers need to embrace major tax reforms to ensure rising standards of living for Americans in the years ahead.

Soft cover. Condition: As New. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Nigel Lawson, former UK Secretary of State for Energy, comments: "While not disputing the existence of man-made global warming, they demonstrate with scientific rigor, yet in terms accessible to the layman, that the alarmist narrative which is commonly supposed to derive from this is, in fact, wholly unfounded." Media publication bias, the authors point out, tends to publicize results which are extreme, outrageously unexpected, and frightening. Should a study find no correlation between global temperature trends and birth rates, for instance, that study is unlikely to be published anywhere, because it's what was generally expected, and the typical reaction would be "ho-hum." On the other hand, a study that seems to predict some devastating population trend would be "news" and would be more likely to get a headline -- even if the two studies were equally reliable and (should both be published) would tend to "cancel each other out" in terms of generating alarm.
