...og nu på fredag d. 14/11 er der møde i EU-netværket for civilsamfundet kl. 9-10 under temaet fair beskatning og mindre ulighed i EU med @runestahl.bsky.social fra Oxfam. www.eubureauet.dk/.../06/uligh...

I USA och Storbritannien pratar man "house-poor". Vi borde ha ett liknande mått i Sverige? Alltså att visst har lönerna ökat, men det betyder verkligen inte att alla har fått det bättre. Särskilt inte när det gäller att ha råd med en bostad.

Jeg synes tilhængerne af 'remigration' skylder os at forklare os præcist hvordan de har tænkt sig at tvinge titusinder af danske borgere ud af landet - er det oprettelse af tungtbevæbnet korps ala USA, lokale militser ala Bosnien? Kunne være rart at få den slags lavpraktiske svar

Global economics inequality is reaching a tipping point and the world needs an "IPCC of inquality" to help track and understand the problem. Thats the main point of todays report of the G20 Expert Group on Global Inequality - led by Joseph Stiglitz, Jayati Ghosh ipdcolumbia.org/event/landma...

It's ok, all holders of these securities need to do is buy an over-the-counter credit derivative to hedge their default risk, then securitize and tranche those derivative contracts and sell the resulting income streams. Assuming the top tranches get AAA credit ratings, what could possibly go wrong?

Copenhagen looks to be swinging significantly to the left in local election. Social democrats (currently leading a centrist government nationally) are collapsing in the polls. Parties to the left of SD could gain a majority for the first time in the city (and probably any Danish municipality)

The rich are responsible for an outsized share of carbon emissions — the top 10% account for 48%. And the gap is growing. Since 1990, the richest 1% have increased their share of emissions by 13%, while the poorest 50% have seen theirs fall by 3%.

Data shows wealthiest 0.1% of the US burn carbon at 4,000 times the rate of the world’s poorest 10% www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Det er altid lidt nervepirrende at møde sine forbilleder. I sidste uge holdt vi et lanceringsevent for vores bog hos Dagbladet Information, hvor avisens klimanestor Jørgen Steen Nielsen interviewede os om bogens hovedpointer og tryktestede vores analyse og argumentation.

Jeg havde @runestahl.bsky.social forbi Aftryk-studiet forleden for at tale om hans nye bog, Klima og klasse (sammen med CBS-magtforskerne @chellersgaard.bsky.social og Andreas Møller Mulvad). Lyt med og gå ind og følg Aftryk i dit podcast-feed! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...

Sorry, men det her handler mere om identitetspolitik end energipolitik. På det principielle plan synes jeg atomkraft er en fin, fossilfri energikilde. Men i DK er det både markant dyrere og langsommere end alternativerne.

Det er lidt pudsigt, at stort set hvert ord som Trump ytrer bliver livedækket i skandinaviske medier, mens der kun er begrænset dækning af de nok største demonstrationer i USAs historie.

"they make a desert and call it peace"

Wealth inequality in Europe keeps rising. A main reason is that income from wealth is taxed much lighter than wages, creating a tax system that is highly regressive at the top. This means that billionaires across Europe have lower taxes rates than normal working people.

stellar investigation by 972Mag on IDF's manufactured videos that are reproduced uncritically in media. Truly a propaganda war."These videos are produced in-house by a small animation cell in the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit, working mainly in After Effects + Blender" www.972mag.com/israeli-army...

EU leaders surrendered completely to US bullying and get nothing in return except more threats.

no words

A Danish parliamentarian, the MP Victoria Velasquez, has been abducted by the Israeli military this morning.

Det her er jo vanvittigt. Et dansk folketingsmedlem, der bortføres militært af en fremmed magt i et åbenlyst brud på folkeretten. Hvordan kan vi opretholde almindelige diplomatiske forbindelser med et sådan forbryderisk regime. nyheder.tv2.dk/live/udland/...

Ingen skal være bange for at udtrykke deres politiske holdninger på universitetet. Men det ville være lettere at tage forsvarerne af intellektuel diversitet alvorligt, hvis de ikke samtidigt forsøgte at lukke et helt universitet, fordi de ikke kan lide det, der bliver forsket i.

4 stjerner i @kristeligt-dagblad.dk 😇🙏 "Velskrevet, velresearchet og engageret formidlet" og "politisk debatstof på højt niveau". (så trækker det ned at de er uenige i vores præmis, men andet ville nok også være underligt)

Det her er en virkelig markant udvikling. Vi har gennem årtier (hvis ikke århundreder) været vant til at løngabet mellem mænd og kvinder bliver snævret ind. Men nu går det den anden vej. Trods al den snak om krise for mænd og maskulinitet, er realiteten at vi stadig er langt fra ligestilling.

Probably not the best sign for the situation in your country, when your PM gets her own news category in Financial Times

Send en venlig tanke til Børsens kernelæsere, der er stået op til denne overskrift her til morgen.

New book hitting the shelves today "Climate & Class: How to Keep the Climate Fight from Becoming a Culture War", with @chellersgaard.bsky.social and Andreas Mulvad.

The split between elite and popular opinion on Israel is really remarkable

Every time you get a headline about 'global' renewable energy, the first thing to do, is to scroll down to the paragraph where they tell that it's all driven by China

This is despite consistent obfuscation, banalization and both-sidesism by German media and politicians. But it's no surprise - a very large part of the population has long been indifferent or hostile to the political, cultural and media elite's unconditional support for Israel.

If we see direct attacks on Spanish military vessels, this will trigger Nato's article 5, right?

Pretty much just the US civil war, Vietnam's toppling the Khmer Rouge, the Sea People's righteous jihad against the decadent tyrannies of the Bronze Age, and world war 2. All morally grey them aside.

It’s striking that across the globe, labour is consistently taxed at higher rates than capital income.

læs Jonas Algers fremragende analyse afhvordan Kina er milevidt foran vesten, når det handler om den grønne energiomstilling - ikke bare i Kina, men globalt. Deres nuværende investeringer i udlandet overgår nu, når vi kontrollerer for inflation, Marshall-pakken til Europa efter WW2.

What the billionaire class of today doesn't seem to understand, is that high taxes on wealth and income is not communism. It is the very thing their forebears assended to in order to AVOID communism.

Hvorfor er det vi skal have så massiv dækning af en mindehøjtidelighed for en amerikansk influencer i danske medier? Jeg forstår godt at Trump forsøger at bruge opmærksomheden på at angribe politiske modstanderes rettigheder, men hvad er argumentet til at bidrage til dette projekt?

Sparta was an authoritarian state that suppressed all forms of cultural and political expression in order to brainwash its citizens into a life dedicated to war. Every year they carried out a murderous campaign against their slave population, the Helots, to keep them in place.

Sparta var en autoritær stat, der undertrykte alt form for kulturel og politisk udfoldelse, for at hjernevaske deres borgere til et liv dedikeret til krig. Hvert år gennemførte de en morderisk kampagne mod deres slavebefolkning Heloterne, for at holde dem på plads. Dejligt ideal at stræbe efter

Such bad reporting on the speech, if you then hear what he means by "competitiveness"... unregulated tech companies, forever chemicals and combustion engines! Draghi is himself a fossil

Just a reminder: they were never actually against cancel culture. They were against the cancellation of people they agree with or like. They’ve always been enthusiastically in favor cancelling people they don’t like. If you took them at their word you’re a useful idiot.

Forestillingen om at venstrefløjen skulle være mere voldsparat, er ganske uforståeligt. Nordens største terrorangreb, var en højreradikal aktivist, der dræbte 77 unge socialdemokrater. Hvad folk går rundt og føler i metroen, opvejer dårligt det faktum.

These attacks are a massive attack on free speech and has nothing to do with preaching tolerance. It is about repression and silencing opposition. The distance between punishing people for wrong speak about Kirk to punishing people for criticizing the regime is short; and will surely be tested.

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

Bizart at det i danske medier er kontroversielt at mene at journalister får mulighed for at dække en konflikt, eller ikke bliver dræbt.

NY RAPPORT: EU’s handel med israelske bosættere medfinansierer voldelige udvidelser på Vestbredden. Regeringen bør gå forrest i EU og stoppe handlen “Vores ansatte og partnere i Palæstina er vidner til bosætternes vold og brutalitet. Det strider imod alle vores værdier” oxfam.dk/pressemeddel...

Problemet med Danmarks forhold til Israel, bliver tit fremstillet som et spørgsmål om tøven og manglende handling. Men det er misforstået. Vi understøtter aktivt den israelske økonomi og besættelse, på Gaza såvel som Vestbredden. Læs vores nye rapport om handel med de ulovlige bosættelser.

Interesting piece on how much of UK industry is owned and controlled by foreign private and state-owned firms. Quite difficult to have a managed transition when assets are managed somewhere else according to an entirely different logic www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

Why is nationalist xenophobic speech treated in this weird formal way? All other forms of speech - pro-palestine, austerity/anti-austerity, climate - is addressed on their content. It is really a bizarre copout of a real and honest debate www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

Jyllandsposten viser sig igen som Danmarksmester i cancel culture. Ideen om at forskere skal fyres på grund af kommentarer på sociale medier er udemokratisk og absurd jyllands-posten.dk/indland/ECE1...

Chancellor Merz says 🇩🇪 has been living beyond its means. That doesn’t add up. For 20 years 🇩🇪has run huge current account surpluses - exporting far more than it imports. In other words, it produces much more than it consumes. If anything, Germany has been living below its means.
