England selbstkritisch: The Economist [disclosure: I am a fan] erklärt, warum der nächste Bill Gates sicher nicht aus England kommt … wie sehen wir das wohl in Österreich?
Und die Gründe:
One is the absence of a market as big and homogeneous as American tech firms enjoy. Another is a relative shortage of capital for start-ups and growing firms. The third is the lack of entrepreneurs who combine technological expertise, business acumen and the sort of balls that, in 2006, reputedly let Mark Zuckerberg turn down Yahoo!’s offer of $1 billion for Facebook. He should now look at the capital-gains tax regime: investors who make speculative bets and hit the jackpot should be able to keep and reinvest more of their winnings.
