That said, if a new edition doesn't add something of depth - mechanical or world development - I'm going to be disappointed.

So long as any errata has been incorporated and the rules are better explained than the previous edition, I'm somewhat willing to forgive an 'update' edition.

1. Awesome policy. 💚 2. Looking forward to people doing mental gymnastics trying to say that young people need to be in work but we should just 'give' them jobs.

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854

Taxing Entrepreneurial Wealth: Evidence from
Norway, 2021-2025
Marius A. K. Ring
WORKING PAPER 35854|
DOl 10.3386/w35854
ISSUE DATE October 2026
Whether imposing higher taxes on business owners adversely affects business activity by constraining investment and inducing capitalist flight is a central question in the ongoing debate on how to tax the ultra wealthy. To shed new light, I exploit a series of related Norwegian reforms during 2021-2024 that increased dividend tax rates, removed migration-related capital gains tax loopholes, and nearly doubled the effective marginal tax rate on business wealth. These reforms spurred international debate and, allegedly, an "exodus" of Norwegian billionaires (Financial Times,
2023). While I document clear effects on migration, these responses are concentrated among the top 0.1% of the wealth distribution and mostly confined to 2022 and 2023. My results indicate that at most 100 individuals left due to the reforms. I find no evidence of significant outmigration or reduced inflows of startup founders or inventors. I estimate that absent any outmigration, wealth tax revenues would have increased by 75% from 2021 to 2024. Reform-driven outmigration lowers the revenue gain to 71.5%. My findings further show that outmigrating owners' firms remain economically active and do not reduce investment. In a broader set of analyses, I examine whether business outcomes are affected, regardless of whether owners outmigrate, since firms may reduce investment both due to liquidity constraints or distortions to owners' savings decisions. I compare firms owned by Norwegian individuals subject to the wealth tax with firms owned by foreigners and other tax-exempt entities. By merging historical ownership data from Orbis with the Norwegian shareholder register, I perform these analyses on both Norwegian and foreign-domiciled firms.
Across settings, I find no evidence that Norwegian-owned firms pay out more dividends or invest less after the reforms,…

I think more good would come from forcing social media companies to purge content older than three years than trying to ban youth.

100% gross & grim bs. It annoys me that they get away with this kind of shit by classifying the ads as opinion pieces. As soon as someone starts claiming specific numbers it is misinformation not simply an opinion.

Given that this is labelled 'the Constitution Amendment Act 2025' they really should have telegraphed it at least a little. Did I just miss it or are they just taking the piss?

They are trying to tap into the public's impatience. They themselves don't give a shit about the waiting. The reason they don't want it slow is because they don't want it done well. They want the results to be challengeable. They want us to lose faith in the democratic process.
