The biggest borrowers of money, in most countries, are the Governments, and so international finance is largely concerned with lending by the citizens of one country to the Governments of others, for the purpose of developing their wealth, building railways and harbours or otherwise increasing their power to produce. keywords: bank; bonds; business; capital; case; countries; country; england; exchange; fact; finance; goods; government; industry; interest; international; loan; london; money; pay; people; power; public; securities; stock; time; trade; war; work; world cache: 11774.txt plain text: 11774.txt item: #2 of 16 id: 12324 author: Ware, Sedley Lynch title: The Elizabethan Parish in its Ecclesiastical and Financial Aspects date: None words: 37052 flesch: 75 summary: E.

If our neighbor Canada continues her present policy of not taxing incomes, or if she imposes only a moderate tax while rates of income taxation in America are fixed at oppressively and unnecessarily high rates, there can be little question that the ultimate result will be an outflow of capital to Canada, and that men of enterprise will seek that country. keywords: business; capital; cent; country; income; income tax; men; tax; taxation; war cache: 29252.txt plain text: 29252.txt item: #7 of 16 id: 29493 author: Kahn, Otto H. title: Government Ownership of Railroads, and War Taxation date: None words: 6346 flesch: 48 summary: Indeed, it may well be, that from the standpoint of their selfish interests, a reasonable guarantee or other fixed compensation by the Government would be preferable to the financial risks and uncertainties under private railroad operation in the new and untried era which we shall enter after the war.
