Winston S. Churchill said, “I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.” There is debate on the above statement with one view holding that since tax is the guaranteed source of Government revenue, it only makes sense that Government should be planning development based on tax as that is the revenue it is sure of. Hence, there is no escape from a nation taxing itself into prosperity. The other view argues that any nation should rely on its nationals for both demand and supply. Hence, its government should leave its nationals with enough incomes to save and invest thereby creating supply, but also with enough to buy and thereby creating demand. Give a critical analysis of the two sides of the debate and, in your conclusion, give clear recommendation of how government should tax its nationals, both natural and legal entities.

In the 1990s, developed countries agreed to double their aid to Africa by 2015. A report by the United Nations conference on Trade and Development noted that sceptics had raised concerns about how much effect the doubling of aid would have on output and incomes in Africa, if the quantity of other inputs such as human capacity and institutions were to remain fixed. It also pointed to the divisions between the sceptics with some suggesting the return would diminish when aid reached only 4% of GDP, while others thought they would diminish only when it had reached 50%. It should be added that even if the returns do begin to diminish, they could still be very important.In 1887, Cecil Rhodes created the De Beers Consolidated mines Company, which controlled about 90% of the total world supply of rough uncut diamonds with its South African mines.
