WB: We own a large electric utility business in the UK, via Mid-America Energy. One problem in the UK is that investors need to disclose their holdings once they get to 3%. So if we're looking at a company with a 5 billion market cap, we'd have to disclose once our stake got to be 150 million. We have owned Guinness, now part of Diageo. But we do think twice, because of that 3% requirement. It's a deterrent, but not an overwhelming deterrent. We would feel comfortable with a lot of UK businesses.

巴菲特：在英国我们透过美中能源拥有一家大型的电力事业，英国有一个问题是一旦投资人持有某家公司股份超过3%的股份就必须公告，如果我们锁定一家市值50亿英磅的公司的话，这等於投资超过1.5亿英磅就必须揭露，我们持有Guinness，现在是Diageo的一部份，但受限於这3%的规定，使得我们在投资前必须三思而后行，这有点妨碍，但不致於让我们完全做壁上观，我们很想要多投资一些英国企业。

In economy, the Old Empire rigidly controlled overseas trade of the colonies, and passed the Navigation Act. This system had been reasonable, but it could not be accommodated to the problem after the Seven Years War. The contradiction between America and Great Britain led to the collapse of the Old Empire.

旧帝国的特征体现在经济方面则是英国对殖民地的对外贸易进行严格限制，英国通过《航海条例》控制了殖民地的生产和贸易，这个体制曾经具有其时代合理性，但是&七年战争&之后，英帝国的形势发生了很大的变化，重商主义殖民政策已经无法解决帝国所面临的难题，英国同美洲殖民地的矛盾越来越大，最终导致了旧帝国的崩溃。

That English law should never have drawn such obvious conclusions from the general principle as formally to recognize the principle nulla poena sine lege, or to give to the citizen an effective remedy against wrongs done him by the state (as distinguished from its individual agents),or that English constitutional development should not have led to the provision of any built-in safeguards against the infringement of the Rule of Law by routine legislation, seemed curious anomalies to the Continental lawyers who wished to imitate the British model.

英国法律从来没有从一般性原则中得出&法无禁止不为罪&这样的显而易见的法则，或者对受到国家侵害的公民以有效赔偿的规定，或者英国宪法的演化没有发展出任何预先设定的防止常规性立法损害法治的条款，这些在那些希望模仿英国模式的欧洲大陆律师看来是奇怪的现象。
