The Soviet Union was one of the most secretive states that ever existed.

The British economy is in a period of relative decline. Consensus forecasts point to a deeper recession and a slower recovery in the U.K. than in any other G7 economy.

    Who do you think is eating at those fancy restaurants, shopping in luxury stores, and driving the amazing cars that inhabit central London? And who do you think is paying the 20% VAT on everything they buy, plus on the fees for their financial advice, legal advice, estate planning advice, etc? They also pay tax on the money they earn in the UK, and the money they earn outside the UK is taxed in the countries where it's earned. This video makes it sound like non-doms are parasites who don't pay their way, when nothing could be further from the truth. If the UK doesn't want them, there are plenty of other places that do - Italy, Spain, and the UAE, for example, are falling over themselves to attract rich foreigners.

  • @truxton1000
    @truxton1000 3 місяці тому

    The "problem" with Non Dom is that a lot of people see it as "unfair" and that these people don't pay tax "but they have to". Nothing could be futrther form the truth, as OF COURSE these people pay tax. As they pay tax on their UK income, and they in almost evry case pay tax on their foreign income IN THE COUNTRY THAT THE INCOME IS GENERATED.. So even if the Non DOm status is removed they will probably not pay any more tax into the UK as the tax they pay in foreing countries will of course be offset. The only result of this will be that these rich people will probably leave, a lot of them anyway, and hardly any rich people form other countries will no longer immigrate to the UK. As these people of course don't want the extra hassle with HMRC asking loads of questions. Other countries have experienced that rich people leave if the tax regime is too harsch. For example the last 5-6 years in Norway lots and lots of rich people has just left, mainly to Switzerland. Reason is not to do with non dom but to do with the very high wealth tax Norwegians has to pay. For example a Norwegians with a rather modest income of £100k will have to pay a marginal tax of around 46%, about the same as many European countries, but if they own assets, for example a company worth £200 million they would in addition have to pay £2 million in wealth tax, something that a foreign owner of a similar company in Norway does NOT have to pay, therefore creating a situation that is deeply unfair. Still the socialist Norwegian government just sit back and look at this, at the same time as the Norwegian currency is on the way down the toilet and the state is getting larger and larger strangling private investment. I predict the UK socialist government will manage to do the same in the UK...

    Mark Harrison says that American promises not to let NATO expand to the East were never written down. This is true if he means a written protocol or treaty. It is quite false if he means there is no written documentation of these promises which were clearly set down in the minutes of the meetings held at that time. It is probably not helpful, as Mark Harrison does, to look at the neo-Nazi movement in Ukraine in terms of success at the polls. Surely the disturbing thing is how mainstream support for Stepan Bandera and the OUN has become, with statues of Bandera all over Ukraine, and torchlit parades (yes, torchlit parades!) on his birthday on January 1st. This is something a democratic, civilized country should be reacting against on its own. It shouldn't need Russia to be censoring them for it. Also, there are the extreme right-wing battalions, of whom the Azov battalion is only one, which really have no counterpart in the UK or other countries in Western Europe. What is the Hungarian or Polish equivalent to the Azov battalion? There is none.

    Interesting conjectures & the paper suffers from a Mesopotamian-cradle bias. Rice is a super cereal in terms of cultivating complexity & the extremely high number of varieties that exist especially in India & to a lesser extent SE Asia & China/Japan/Korea.. A better picture can be gleaned if some focus can be spared here.. do not be afraid that this may break your sacred models which have become smug edifices of preserving domination instead of liberation.

    • @rustler160
      @rustler160 Рік тому

      Why would there be a Mesopotamian bias? A Greek bias, an Indian bias or a Chinese bias would be more plausible. No culture of the current world shows (conscious) cultural continuity with the Mesopotamians. Muslims distance themselves from Mesopotamian culture. That is why Muslim extremists often destroy Mesopotamian artefacts that are older than anything else in the world.

  • @davidrowland6
    @davidrowland6 2 роки тому

    From their paper (Mayshar, Moav and Pascali, 2022): 'Consider a farming society that subsists on a cereal grain that has to be harvested within a short period and then stored for year-round consumption. A tax collector could confiscate part of the stored grain and transport it for consumption by distant elite and other non-food producers, even if there is no food surplus. One might worry that ongoing confiscation would lead to a shrinking population and eventually eliminate the source of income for the elite. However, because of diminishing average product of labor, *the smaller population would produce higher output per farmer* This would result in an equilibrium with a stable population in which total output exceeds the farming population’s subsistence needs, with the surplus confiscated by the nonfarming elite.' Note that this is just a thought experiment and not based on historical evidence - the authors are not claiming that the average tax collector in Neolithic societies routinely confiscated cereals even in the event of, say, a famine. But even accepting the hypothetical situation posed, their deduction that this expropriation of non-surplus crop to feed 'a distant elite' would not only be *politically* sustainable but would yield 'higher output per farmer' makes no sense. This would only happen if the population of private farmers decreased as a result of this policy - i.e. through expropriation of low-output farmland or collectivisation - and even then history has shown that expropriation and collectivisation might result by some measures in "higher output per farmer'" but not in greater agricultural productivity or in stable complex societies (e.g. the Holodomor in Soviet Ukraine).

  • @davidrowland6
    @davidrowland6 2 роки тому

    Seems a little complacent. There are many plausible explanations for the correlation between cereal-oligoculture societies and complex society formation - e.g. nutrition. In the West for decades, most children are taught that "breakfast" is the most important meal of the day - and that breakfast is typically cereal (fortified with vitamins like folic acid) with milk(which also provides nutrients which promote healthy development). As historically and currently complex states are well-integrated into the global economy (e.g. China, Taiwan, U.S., European and MENA) these countries have access to a great diversity of crop types. It's telling that most children across these developing and developed nations do not start the day with a yam or sweet potato, but instead with dairy products and cereals (e.g. eggs with toast, "cereals" with milk)

    • @davidrowland6
      @davidrowland6 2 роки тому

      Consider also that cereals require industrial processes - e.g. to derive bread products from wheat grain - whereas tuberous veg can be eaten as is, over a fire/ cooked. Thus a society where tuberous veg production predominates is one that does not *require* industrial/ hierarchical complexity in its agriculture. Consider also that the propensity of cereals to rot or become infected has historically been a key cause of disease through food poisoning, which might have provoked in "cereal societies" hierarchical oversight of industrial production to ensure the safety of populaces after mass outbreaks of food poisoning by contaminated cereals (such as ergotism). There are so many possible reasons for this correlation. To reduce an intriguing historical correlation down to macroeconomic effects seems to be ignoring many other non-economic factors.
