Go East!

East is the new West. That's the conclusion of sultry Samizdata siren, Natalija Radic. It seems that by reducing taxation and relaxation, plucky Baltic republic, Estonia is becoming the land of opportunity just like America once was to generations of entrepreneurs.

Sadly, it's not all plain sailing for the former Soviet slave state. Success has attracted its enemies. According to Miss Radic: "The political classes in places like Finland (and France and Germany) do not want the owners of capital to have access to less kleptocratic taxation within the EU as that would endanger the system of pork barrel and kick backs they depend on for their perks."
