The tap runs dry: the forces of globalisation and new technology threaten to weaken the power of governments to tax their citizens. Can governments plug the leak?

Article Abstract:

Market globalization and electronic commerce jeopardize many government's revenues. The ability of corporations and professionals to seek less-taxed homes has increased the burden on the least-mobile sector: unskilled workers. A tax on all online transactions is no answer to tax-free online business.

The supply-siders ride again: do tax cuts help to promote economic growth?

Article Abstract:

Bob Dole's promise to cut taxes in his political campaign raises questions as to whether tax cuts spur economic growth. The growth in the 1980s was more from business cycle trends and not from Ronald Reagan's tax cuts. Dole's tax cuts could work if he also reduces spending, as he promises.
