June 3 (Bloomberg) -- Austrian Finance Minister Wilhelm Molterer said he'll propose a Europe-wide tax on commodities speculation as people across the continent protest against higher fuel and food prices.

``A tax on speculation would boost transparency in the markets,'' Molterer said in a Bloomberg Television interview in Frankfurt late yesterday. ``It would send a signal that speculation is unwanted.''

А ведь когда-то министром финансов Австрии был фон Бём-Баверк.

Так то ж были совершенно другие финансы, не чета каким указным платежным струментам. Да и народ обмельчал. До мышей, практически.
