📰 Read our PhD candidate Kazimier Lim’s article in The Interpreter by @lowyinstitute.bsky.social. His piece explores how threats to Gulf airports could disrupt global supply chains, reshape perceptions of regional stability, and redefine modern coercive power. bit.ly/4d9wEvm #PoliSky #Iran

Great analysis and critique of current German economic policy by @adamtooze.bsky.social. Instead of pushing the Germans to work more, create the necessary conditions under which working more becomes feasible… podcasts.apple.com/de/podcast/o...

6. Fakt ist und bleibt: kaum ein Land in der Welt besteuert #Arbeit (vor allem von Menschen mit mittleren und geringen Einkommen) stärker und (große) #Vermögen geringer, als Deutschland. Eine ökonomisch und sozial kluge Steuerreform würde dieses Ungleichgewicht adressieren.

What a photograph.

Die Bundesregierung belastet mit dem Sparhaushalt 2024 vor allem Menschen mit wenig Einkommen. Dabei könnten moderat höhere Steuern für Hochvermögende — so wie in den USA, Frankreich oder England — die notwendigen Investitionen leicht finanzieren. Meine neue Kolumne: www.zeit.de/wirtschaft/2...

Ok, der war WIRKLICH gut!
