Impressive event yesterday - building support, brick by brick, for the International Panel on Inequality (IPI). The discussions were smart, sober, and at times even hopeful. Grateful to be part of the growing body of supporters. @stone-lis.bsky.social @morellisal.bsky.social @lisdata.bsky.social

Extreme inequality is not inevitable. 1,400+ economists worldwide are calling for an International Panel on Inequality to help inform policies for more equal and inclusive societies. Joseph Stiglitz on @Avvenire_Nei explains why 👇 www.avvenire.it/idee-e-comme...

For Chart of the Week today, we've put the UK’s growing NEETs crisis into a European perspective. The UK now has the highest (18-24 year old) NEET rate compared to the 22 EU economies in the OECD. More in Top of the Charts here ➡️ buff.ly/wjUnnja

The UK’s growing NEETs crisis has rightly been the big domestic story of the week. Chart of the Week puts it into a European perspective, and the story is equally depressing. The UK has the highest (18-24 year old) NEET rate compared to the 22 EU economies in the OECD, and the only country in the EU with a higher NEET rate than us is Romania (which is not in the OECD). Some of the drivers of being NEET in the UK are common across many economies, like the rising prevalence of poor mental health.

Nel dibattito pubblico troppi luoghi comuni semplificano un fenomeno complesso come la disuguaglianza. Di solito per sostenere che non è un problema oppure che sarebbe meglio occuparsi di altre cose ben + importanti (crescita, povertà, mobiità ...) Ma è davvero così? Cosa ci raccontano i fatti?

Spain's renewables build-out has structurally decoupled its electricity prices from gas markets. Gas now sets the price in only 15% of hours, compared to 90% in Italy. Countries that invested early in clean power are far less exposed to fossil fuel price shocks. Those that didn't now pay the price.
