The traditional theory of public finance founded taxation on horizontal equity, ie the principle that taxpayers in the same economic situation -- equal ability to pay -- must pay an equal amount of tax. The theory of the taxation of business income developed on these principles, and the size or legal form of a business offered no grounds for tempering the uniform taxation of economic results (net income) as long as flat-rate income taxes prevailed. The introduction of the corporate income tax violated the uniform taxation model, differentiating the taxation of business income according to legal form. Ascertaining small businesses' income presumptively splits business taxation in two: large companies are required to file tax returns reflecting the amounts actually earned, as shown in the...

Beyond the respective functioning of the classical gold standard and the interwar gold-exchange standard, one of the main differences between both periods was the degree of labour mobility. While the pre-1914 world was characterised by massive migration flows, the interwar years were marked by a dramatic fall in labour movements, owing to the adoption of restrictive immigration policies in the main receiving countries. As a result, labour mobility could no longer play the adjustment mechanism role that it did during the classical gold standard. Indeed, the existence of a number of adjustment constraints, including wage rigidities and factor immobility, led those countries with fixed exchange rates to adopt counterproductive adjustment mechanisms, such as trade protectionism, that result...
