The Roosevelt Institute published a 180-page report on the methodological and administrative challenges of wealth taxation and I love them for it.

The FT remains the only good global newspaper, exhibit #923
I gather some people think the FT has been neglecting its core for “woke nonsense” bla bla yada yada, which is news to this 12k word beast — an oral history of the Federal Reserve’s Covid-19 crisis made up of quotes from the recently released full transcripts. www.ft.com/content/cb9a...

Det vælter ind med selskabsskat: 112 mia kr. i 2024. Men det er i stigende grad båret af nogle få selskaber, særligt Novo som har været den største skattebetaler hvert år siden 2018.
I 2024 betalte Novo alene godt 20% af den samlede selskabsskat. (Det er altså ikke normalt, hvis man er i tvivl.)

How my Gen Z colleagues see me when I try to “stay with it” in the office discourse
Alison Luchs, who has worked at the National Gallery of Art for 47 years, agreed to learn Gen Z slang and make videos because she wanted to raise interest in the museum’s art.

Læs hvad Rune skriver. Det danske skattesystem har en masse glimrende checks-and-balances. Det er et absurd - og kontraproduktivt - mål at hver enkelt initiativ i sig selv skal være skåret til med en skalpel.
Millionærer får folkepension, millionærer kører gratis på vejene. Hvis man skal designe en ordning, hvor man er 💯 sikker på at intet rammer forkert, så må man enten acceptere at nogle trængende ikke får, eller skabe et stort, dyrt bureaukrati. Oftest er simpel regel bedst

There's a dollar "vibe shift" happening now that is different from past bouts of dollar pessimism. You might be skeptical. That's understandable since the de-dollarization narrative has been around for years now, and little has changed about the dollar's global position. 1/

A thing I like here is (implicitly) bringing the sociology of conferences to political science. What is elsewhere called "field-configuring events" (of which Davos is a great case) is an instructive lens for understanding world politics.

The torment nexus meme comes full circle
“Most Americans don’t agree with Mr. Trump’s trying to buy Greenland, and many more oppose the idea of taking it by force. Fantasies deflate quickly once real costs become obvious, but it is impossible for Europe to impose costs without incurring risks itself.”

It’s not only that the ACI is designed to respond to outside coercion. It was designed so *specifically because of Trump trade threats in his first term* (notably over EU digital services taxes).
“The EU's anti-coercion instrument is the bloc's most powerful retaliatory tool, designed to respond to deliberate coercive actions from third countries that use trade measures to pressure the policy choices of the EU or its members.”
