"Britain and France have been among the most vocal proponents of proposals to tax big" This is kind of surprising in case of Britain. As long as I remember both Cayman islands and City of London, two of the best known tax havens,

Yes, that's sort of true, but imagine that some company openly claims that they are not going to hire women or black people or Muslims. You also shouldn't tell private company who they should hire, yet my guess that if any company
