Is it ever right to give one child more money than the other? My cover story for this weekend's FT got a lot of debate - fascinating stories in the comments section www.ft.com/content/c006...

When it comes to gifts or inheritance, parents must decide whether to give equally, or help those in most need

One of my bugbears: if you tell people they are naturally a certain way, they will lean into it. Bit of a nature vs nurture debate that has naturally upset those that like to think women and men are definitely different. on.ft.com/4leqnjh Stop telling women they are cautious investors

There's still uncertainty around this, but I was really struck by the WMO estimating that the long-term temperature rise is 1.34-1.41C above the pre-industrial level. It was only in 2021 that the IPCC said the world had warmed by 1.1C (based on years to 2020) on.ft.com/4hjSzhR

My understanding is it’s not just a calculation of how much US business they would lose if they committed to sustainable investing vs how much European if they didn’t, but also the legal risk of getting sued in the US.
