Global taxation and the perversion of capital flows

BY

In the wake of trade-based globalisation followed by financial globalisation, a large volume of capital began moving from developing to advanced countries.

The year of the close vote: a 50:50 world

BY

The year 2016 is the year of the divided electorate, so close were some of the election outcomes. Deep divisions lurk within voters coming from ostensibly “liberal” political cultures. The trend looks set to continue in the elections that will be fought in dozens of countries in 2017, where the votes could also be divided.
