When I became finance minister in 1991, I discovered that the wealth tax rates income - there was taxation on wealth.

Protectionism is a very real danger. It is understandable that in times of a severe downturn protectionist pressures mount but the lessons of history are clear. If we give in to protectionist pressures, we will only send the world into a downward spiral.
