Still in command: big government will come to terms with the global economy

The increasing mobility of capital and labor is not diminishing the power of governments to tax and spend. Governments are taxing immobile parts of production more than mobile areas and are shifting the overall balance of taxation more heavily on workers. Effects on macroeconomic policy are also discussed.
