"A 2% tax on billionaires is a first step – but it’s important not to stop there. Building public confidence in the idea that it's truly possible to target the ultra-wealthy - billionaires in particular - is essential.", said @thomaspiketty.bsky.social at #TaxingBillionaires conference [1/2]

Afghanistan shows what investing in women’s education – or divesting – can do to an economy
New research shows that Afghan women earned 13% more for every additional year of schooling they received after the Taliban fell in 2001. That progress is now in peril.

🌍 As countries grow wealthier, public spending rises 📈

While education spending stays steady at ~5% across income levels, social protection spending varies widely:
🔹Poorest countries: 1.5%
🔹Richest countries: 13%

This spending gap fuels inequality.

🔍Between 1800 and 2023, global per capita income grew by 1.3% annually - an 18x increase in average income!

But growth hasn’t been equal: Western countries surged ahead, while Sub-Saharan Africa and South & South-East Asia lagged behind.
