Ever feel like nothing is ever going to change? I do too. But there's some fascinating research into how social change actually spreads and why a small group of people can sometimes have a much bigger impact than anyone expects. youtu.be/n_lgy337KiA #SocialChange #Psychology #NetworkTheory

Do poor people hate rich people? “Politics of envy” is one of those explanations we hear so often it barely sounds like a theory anymore when it comes to inequality. So I looked at what the experiments actually say. youtu.be/mt0jf2VdCdQ #inequality #behaviouraleconomics #fairness

Palantir’s Tom Watson hasn’t missed an opportunity to fearmonger about “highly organised pressure groups” affecting public interest procurement. We’d say firms like Peter Mandelson’s Global Counsel, who lobbied the government on Palantir’s behalf, are a bigger risk 👀 bit.ly/3VALODg
