Selon qu'il existe ou non des capitaux oisifs, la technique [de la détaxation] différera. Dans le premier cas, le problème est de les amener à s'investir, dans le second, de susciter leur formation ou leur venue. Dans la première hypothèse, les détenteurs doivent donc être poussés à renoncer à leurs liquidités. Il s'agit d'accroître l'intérêt, la rentabilité des investissements. 2, record 1, French, - capital%20oisif
