Spahn, in his analysis of the original idea, concluded that the concept was not viable and suggested an alternative solution to the problem of managing exchange-rate volatility. Concept According to Spahn, "Analysis has shown that the Tobin tax as originally proposed is not viable and should be laid aside for good."
