Direct interventions, restrictions on short term capital inflows, capital gains taxes, and stabilizing prudential banking regulations will all have to be considered.

Property or capital gains taxes could help curb demand for housing as an investment vehicle.

A recent study found that taxing capital gains and dividends as ordinary income, subject to a maximum 28 rate on long term capital gains (the pre 1997 rate), could finance a cut in the corporate tax rate from 35 to 26 .

This is bad news for reducing income inequality, as capital gains and high end wages may grow much faster.

America s trade agreement with Chile, for example, impedes Chile s use of capital controls even though the International Monetary Fund now recognizes that capital controls can be an important instrument of macro prudential policy.

In some cases, US firms bought the banks, held on to them until Korea recovered, and then resold them, reaping billions in capital gains.

Decentralized policy and growing externalities will result in partial de globalization, especially in macroeconomic configurations, finance, and capital accounts.

Initial capital

No one can determine how much of America s productivity gains in recent years have resulted from squeezing human capital, because such things are not measured.

Today, capital in the developed world is abundant the saving ratio declines as people consume more and production shifts increasingly to services, where productivity gains are limited.

Indeed, while China s overall capital stock is by no means small, capital structure and maturity mismatches have led to the accumulation of massive volumes of non performing assets, undermining China s economic stability and financial efficiency.

Too much global political capital nowadays is wasted on harmonizing beggar thyself policies (particularly in the areas of trade and financial regulation), and not enough is spent on beggar thy neighbor policies (such as macroeconomic imbalances).

As above, firm value is enhanced when, and if, the return on capital exceeds the cost of capital.

Brazil has been aggressive in terms of capital restrictions, twice increasing its tax on financial inflows.

Meanwhile, in developed capital markets, we are busily reinventing these macroprudential instruments, to use the term now in vogue in Basel.

Why should those who make their income by gambling in Wall Street s casinos be taxed at a lower rate than those who earn their money in other ways. Capital gains should be taxed at least at as high a rate as ordinary income.

Under such circumstances, the upper middle classes in developed countries increasingly came to look for capital gains instead of improving their living standards through productive work.

The basic conclusion of all of these documents is that regulations of cross border capital flows can complement macroeconomic policy and so called macro prudential financial regulations.
