Wolf on land, and on distortions in the tax code

Martin Wolf in the Financial Times, on cross-border finance:

"A part of the answer must be to reduce the instability of financial markets. This is the focus of the debate on regulation – a topic I have discussed previously. I would add two points here: first, seek to reduce the extremes of the property cycle by taxing the rental value of land; second, remove incentives for leverage from the tax code."
