	Tobin tax - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Named for the economist James Tobin, the tax is intended to put a penalty on short-term speculation in currencies.
		In the Americas, the Tobin tax has been supported by the president of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, and the president of Venezuela, Hugo Chávez, who recently announced that he is currently studying the implementation of such a tax.
		Tobin observed that, while his original proposal had only the goal of put a brake on the foreign exchange trafficking the antiglobalization movement had stressed the income from the taxes with which they want to finance their projects to improve the world.

		Tobin was one of those economic theorists whose influence reaches so far that many people who have never heard of him are nonetheless his disciples.
		Tobin was the original New Democrat; it's ironic that some of his essentially moderate ideas have lately been hijacked by extremists right and left.
		Tobin is probably best known today for two policy ideas, both of which have been hijacked — his own word — by people whose political views he did not share.

	James Tobin, Biography: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics: Library of Economics and Liberty
		In 1981, U.S. economist James Tobin received the Nobel Prize for his "analysis of financial markets and their relations to expenditure decisions, employment, production, and prices." Many people regard Tobin as America's most distinguished Keynesian economist.
		Tobin argues that one cannot predict the effect of monetary policy on output and unemployment simply by knowing the interest rate or the rate of growth of the money supply.
		Tobin calls the report, which was mainly written by chairman Walter Heller, along with Tobin, Kermit Gordon, Robert Solow, and Arthur Okun, "the manifesto of our [Keynesian] economics, applied to the United States and world economic conditions of the day." Its counterpart in the Reagan years was the 1982 Economic Report.
