Predictably, the OECD approves.
With the G20 meetings in full swing, most eyes have been turned towards the contortions of the world on Syria. But that doesn't mean that there isn't economics being discussed. And from the Dutch, ironically the home of the modern trader-state, comes a horrific proposal to direct energy towards tax evasion. I would say building the supra-national tax administration, able to punish tax evaders anywhere in the world, should be less of a priority than, say, growth-enhancing policies. Or stable monetary policy. Or improved business environments. Or labour market flexibility. Or about a million other things.
Predictably, the OECD approves.
