The Tax Paradox of Capital Investment Summary

The historical economic data imply a significant “tax paradox”: Higher-tax nations tend to experience relatively higher rates of economic growth over time. Neoclassical economic theory implies, to the contrary, that lower-tax nations ought to grow faster than high-tax nations since capital is mobile. However, because new capital investment is generally tax deductible, marginal capital investment often favors active (i.e., high-growth) investment for tax deductibility reasons, resulting in a preference for incremental capital investment in higher tax nations. ”Tax practitioner” economics is not always consistent with neoclassical economic theory. In this article, the author explains why corruption is disproportionately harmful to economic growth (in short, corruption directly undermines the incentive for re-investment of capital, killing active capital investment via immediate taxation of profits); explains from a tax practitioner perspective why the Tax Reform Act of 1986 caused a reversal of the “lock-in effect,” resulting in a short-term economic boost; and posits that levying taxes on labor to try to attract “mobile” capital has the paradoxical effect of a potential reduction in mobile capital investment in a given economy.

What is audiobook and how does it work?
Audiobooks are voice recordings of the text of a book that you listen to rather than read. Audiobooks can be exact word-for-word versions of books or abridged versions. You can listen to audiobooks on any smartphone, tablet, computer, home speaker system, or in-car entertainment system.

An electronic book, also known as an e-book or eBook, is a book publication made available in digital form, consisting of text, images, or both, readable on the flat-panel display of computers or other electronic devices. Although sometimes defined as "an electronic version of a printed book",some e-books exist without a printed equivalent.
E-books can be read on dedicated e-reader devices, but also on any computer device that features a controllable viewing screen, including desktop computers, laptops, tablets and smartphones.
