I did a NYT video interview—along with voices from Hungary, Nicaragua, and Russia— about how repression works in authoritarian states. www.nytimes.com/video/opinio...

Tyranny doesn’t happen overnight. Take it from the people who missed the first signs.

Witzig, wie leidenschaftlich damals über technische Details zu den Energiepreisbremsen gestritten wurde, damit die Anreize perfekt wirken können. Kurze Nachfrage in der Nachbarschaft ergab: 4 von 6 Haushalten wissen nicht mal, ob sie aktuell einen Preis überhalb oder unterhalb der Bremsen haben.

Spotted INSM, a market-liberal think tank, demonstrating in front of a workers' association. Their banner reads "There is no Economy B", playfully riffing off the climate activists' "There is no Planet B". Makes one chuckle, especially if you're familiar with the Varieties of Capitalism literature.

Very interesting working paper on the beliefs about the effects of economic inequality and their effect on redistributive preferences! Strategically important for anyone endorsing and arguing for more equality: Should one stress instrumental or intrinsic arguments?

Finally hopped on the Bluesky train! 🚀 Here for all things related to socio-economics, pluralist economics, and a sprinkle of Cologne (the city, not the scent 😅). Remember the golden days of Twitter? Hoping this gives those vibes, and reignites my social media spark! 📚🌍
