摘要
At rates of even a small fraction of a percent on trades of stocks, derivatives, and other financial instruments, financial transaction taxes have the potential to raise massive revenue for international development and other public purposes. But while such proposals have moved from the fringe into the centre of mainstream debate, negotiations to create new, broad-based FTTs have proceeded slowly in the face of industry opposition. © 2017 Society for International Development.
