Just out at JOP (www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/epdf/10....) : Why do so few working-class people hold office? It's not lack of interest. Noam Lupu and I ran 10 surveys in 8 countries and found no evidence of a social class gap in how often qualified people consider running.

I recently read a BA thesis on the prevalence of "anti-gender" ideology in #farright party manifestos. It was quite good overall, but when it came to choosing a graph style and colour palette, the student did the funniest thing👇

Our paper "Right-Wing Populism and Museums" is out! It shows how European museums are navigating rising pressures from the far right, from direct interventions to subtle forms of influence, and how this leads to self-censorship, reshaping curatorial practices & the role of cultural institutions.

I have been wanting to write this footnote for a long time.

New study out today—“Is the Urban-Rural Divide Affectively Polarised?“ finds a substantial political cleavage between urban and rural populations in multiple European countries. Place-based affective polarization is associated with voting along liberal vs nationalist divide #PoliticalScience

These are really insane numbers. Even if we only look at formal political offices, billionaires are more than 10,000x more likely to hold a national political position than the average person.
