Reflections are only that, reflections, nothing more nothing less. Often these reflections are related to books I read, but occasionally also other things. These are often written very late, very fast,  using notes from my mobile phone, so the grammar and spelling is horrible.



Interesting news: Luxury tax in China could support a global luxury tax for innovation

I have been discussing the opportunities with a luxury tax that support innovation for a number of years.

Here is my “old” article just after the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in November last year where I discussed a global luxury tax.

Here is an article from China Daily, "Nation may start taxing more luxury goods, official says", that was just published.
