Explanation of Solution

According to Keynes, only the government intervention with increasing spending can stimulate the economy. When the government spends money, the investments will increase. An increase in the investments cause to increase the employment and thereby the output in an economy.  On the final result, aggregate demand will increase. The government spending always has a multiplier effect on an economy. So, it does not matter how much the government spends. That’s why the Keynes says that ‘even a broken window helps the glass man have some wealth’.

Discuss the preferred deterrent method employed by the Zambian government to combat tax evasion, monetary fines. As noted in the reading the potential penalty for corporate tax evasion is a fine of 52.5% of the amount evaded plus interest assessed at 5% annually along with a possibility of jail time. In general, monetary fines as a deterrent are preferred to blacklisting of company directors, revoking business operation licenses, or calling for prison sentences. Do you agree with this preference? Should companies that are guilty of tax evasion face something more severe than a monetary fine? Something less severe? Should the fine and interest amount be set at a different rate? If so at why? Provide support and rationale for your responses.
