 Capitalism
Areas of capitalism or private ownership may remain in certain sectors (such as small businesses) under socialism, but industry and labor are regulated by the state for the benefit of the populace at large.
certain financial practices, known specifically as finance capitalism, concerning the purchase and sale of corporate debt and equity, often on liquid secondary markets.
For many (like Immanuel Wallerstein), capitalism hinges on the elaboration of an economic system in which goods and services are traded in markets, and capital goods belong to non-state entities, onto a global scale.

 Capital Flight, by Darryl McLeod: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics: Library of Economics and Liberty
Yet another option is to reduce the tax benefits of capital flight by having rich and poor countries adopt new tax treaties and exchange data on income paid to foreigners.
One reason that capital fled the debtor countries is that domestic investors felt their government would give precedence to its foreign rather than its domestic debt obligations.
The U.S. government's termination in 1984 of the 30 percent withholding tax on U.S. portfolio income paid to foreigners and a similar lack of reporting by European governments are often blamed for encouraging capital outflows to those countries.

 External Debt and Capital Flight in Sub-Saharan Africa
Experience has shown that foreign borrowing and capital flight were most pronounced in those countries that had higher and more variable rates of inflation, larger fiscal deficits, and overvalued currencies.
From the estimates, eight variants of capital flight measurement are derived, four of which are based on the concept of normal capital outflows whereas the other four are based on the concept of unrepatriated external earnings.
Resident capital outflows from Tanzania are measured by three approaches: the balance of payments, the residual, and cross-border bank deposits.

 CRS Report RL30394 - Russian Capital Flight, Economic Reforms, and U.S. Interests: An Analysis - NLE Abstract
Capital flight deprives the Russian economy of critical financial resources that could be used for investment, tax revenues, restructuring pensions, and other social security programs.
Russian capital flight is a longstanding problem with very negative influences and consequences for the Russian economy.(1) It deprives the Russian economy of critical financial resources that could be used for investment, tax revenues, and restructuring pensions and other social security programs.
Some legislation has been proposed as a result of concern over the these scandals and Russian capital flight.

 Russia capital flight still $1bn per month
Capital flight has been at the centre of Russia's problems in paying its debts and while some is legitimate, much is illegal and has provoked the ire of the International Monetary Fund and triggered allegations of money laundering through the Bank of New York.
Two pieces of legislation are currently under discussion aimed at increasing supervision of foreign exchange transactions, one which would require registration of firms which are often set up as shells for the purpose of exporting capital and another which aims to identify deals with suspicious financial terms aimed at abetting the capital flight.
Deputy central bank governor Victor Melnikov, in London for a meeting with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, said the pace of the outflow had easing from the annual $15 billion in 1999 and $25 billion at the height of Russia's recent financial crisis in 1998.

 Challenge: Regulating Capital Flight
The size of flight capital held abroad by Russian citizens today is estimated to be roughly the size of the country's external debt, and the annual outflows in recent years have been more than four times the country's annual external debt-servicing costs.
Or, some governments greatly in need of capital might request the U.S. to supplement their efforts to attract capital back to the native country by providing information or imposing special regulations or even special taxes on the holdings of the nationals of the foreign countries.
The neglect of capital flight in current debates is also striking, given the attention it received at the 1944 Bretton Woods conference.

 DO EXCHANGE CONTROLS PREVENT CAPITAL FLIGHT
Meyer and Bastos Marques, in "A Fuga de Capital no Brasil", conclude that the accumulation of huge foreign debts, the borrowing allowed fiscal deficit, expansive monetary policy, and appreciated currency were the determinant causes of capital flight in Brazil.
Until today foreign capital inflows continue having to be registered at the CBB in order to assure the investors and lenders the right to return the principal and the interest (interest rates, profits and dividends) abroad.
When the faked invoicing is related to capital flight, this phenomenon represents a demand for illegal foreign exchange that is fed by the supply created by phenomena such as "leaked" inward remittances and capital flows and primarily by underinvoicing exports and overinvoicing imports.

 Learn more about Investment policy in the online encyclopedia.
Investment policy in many nations is tied to immigration policy, either due to a desire to prevent human capital flight by forcing investors to keep local assets in local investments, or by a desire to attract immigrants by offering passports in a safe haven nation, e.g.
A strong and central criticism of the new global rules, made by many in the anti-globalization movement, is that guarantees are often available to foreign investors that are not available to local small investors, and that capital flight is encouraged by such free trade pacts.
Investment policy favoring local investors over global ones is typically discouraged in such pacts, and the idea of a separate investment policy rapidly becomes a fiction or fantasy, as real decisions reflect the real need for nations to compete for investment, even from their own local investors.

 Guardian Russian capital flight rises
Capital flight from Russia is heading towards levels not seen since just before the financial crisis in 1998, according to a leading debt-rating agency.
Fitch said Russia's current account surplus and its foreign reserves meant that the extent of the capital flight did not pose a near-term "external financing risk", but it said that if the money had not been sent offshore it could have been usefully invested in Russia.
Economists said it was impossible to tell what proportion of cash was being invested outside Russia to diversify risk and how much was down to lack of confidence.

Labour, from the start, flees from capital in pursuit of autonomy, ease, humanity, but can escape from its dependence upon and subordination to capital only by destroying it, by destroying the private appropriation of the products of labour.

 BizFocus: Capital Flight Increasing
A clear indication of China's capital flight is the discrepancy between rising exports and the nation's static foreign reserves: while proceeds from exports has risen, China's foreign reserves have not increased.

Some of these funds transfers, including private capital and proceeds from trade, are beyond the government's control.

 Currency Crises and Capital Flight
The broader effect of capital flight, which occurs in anticipation of a balance of payments crisis, is that it can actually force a crisis to occur much sooner.
If the capital flight is large enough, even if it is completely unwarranted based on market conditions, it could nonetheless deplete the remaining reserves and force the central bank to devalue the currency.
When this occurs it will result in capital flight, which in turn is likely to aggravate the balance of payment crisis.

 Russian Capital Flight - Johnson's Russia List 1-15-03
Although new Central Bank data show that the pace of net capital outflows surged in the fourth quarter to $5 billion, bringing the total for the year to $12.5 billion, the bank does not calculate capital flight, leaving economists to guess about a crucial indicator of investor confidence.
Before the crisis it was mainly financed by foreign portfolio investments, but now most of the outflow consists of corporate money and is largely due to the increase of foreign loans.
Of seven economists from major investment banks polled Tuesday, five said capital flight is increasing and two said it is declining.

 Capital Flight From Russia Quadrupled in 2004 - MONEY - MOSNEWS.COM
Capital flight — in which Russian businesses and individuals send money overseas, through legal or illegal means, rather than investing it or saving it domestically — has been a matter of key concern in the country& efforts to establish post-Soviet economic stability.
Peter Westin, economist at Moscow’s Aton brokerage house told AP that he had anticipated capital flight of $12 billion for 2004, and noted that the Central Bank figures were normally subject to review later.
A bumper inflow in the last three months of 2004 of $10.3 billion had taken the edge off the figures, Westin said, as Yukos began paying back part of the $27 billion that tax authorities say it owes in back bills.

 Banks experience massive capital flight
The move, widely welcomed by the country’s business community, has forced interest rates on bank loans to tumble from as high as 70 percent to around 15 percent, setting off a massive capital flight to the equity market which had remained in the doldrums for years as investors focused attention on the money market.
Most bankers concede that as long as the excess liquidity prevailed, they had little chance of re-snatching investors away from the equity market, which last enjoyed the good times way back in 1997 when it was voted one of the world’s best performing bourses by the International Finance Corporation.
HARARE, Zimbabwe (PANA) —Zimbabwe’s banks, which for years have been the investor’s first choice as they offered annual gains of up to 65 percent in interest, are now facing a massive capital flight to the equity market after cheaper funds made available by the Central Bank sharply brought down interest rates.

 Divergence spells capital flight from Poland and Hungary Emerging Markets
The increasing risk of capital flight and sharp sell-off of investment assets and currencies in Poland and Hungary is not reflected in asset values, especially the international bonds of both countries.
On May 1, eight Central and East European countries, as well as Malta and part of Cyprus will join the E.U. In most of these countries, the process of economic convergence with the richer countries of the E.U., or the equalization of GDP per capita, is well under way.
As investors come to realize that divergence has overtaken convergence in Poland, capital flight could rapidly develop, spreading from Poland to Hungary, leaving domestic and international bond prices much lower and exchange rates sharply depreciated in both countries.
