Recommendation
Economics professor David VanHoose puts forward a vigorous argument against using taxes to control bank behavior and protect the banking system from future shocks. He contends that such measures would prove ineffective in real-world banking. Though some of VanHoose’s assumptions will meet with opposition, getAbstract believes his ideas will trigger discussions on banking tax among finance professionals, regulators and government policy makers.
