I believe I read about this in Spin-Free Economics by the chief economist at IHS Global. The basic idea was to incentivize investing as opposed to sitting on a pile of money. How would something like this work? Could we incentivize (I guess that’s not a real word, but it’s perfectly cromulent) investing in a business over investing in secondary markets? Would we want to? I’d like to keep the discussion as apolitical as possible, but it seems to me that economics is somewhat inherently political.
Thanks,
