This new trick in Economics of pretending almost everything everyone defines as the welfare state is not the welfare state…and then declaring PRE-distribution not redistribution drives inequality is not intellectually serious.

Do Predistribution People Know How to Read?

How many times will they fall for the same exact measurement tricks?

We mourn the loss of Claus Offe, an outstanding scholar and esteemed member of our academic community.

Sozialwissenschaftler Claus Offe gestorben

Claus Offe prägte die Sozialwissenschaften mit scharfsinnigen Analysen und gesellschaftskritischen Perspektiven. Als Grenzgänger zwischen Soziologie und Politologie bleibt sein Werk wegweisend.

Same work, (perceptions of) different pay?

C. Diehl, J. Lang, O. Brüggemann, & S. Strauss compare relative #wageinequality and perceptions of wage inequality for #gendered differences in the perception and acceptance of wage inequality.

New papers out on perceived unfairness! A 🧵:

In @sociusjournal.bsky.social with @brueggemann-o.bsky.social J. Lang, S. Strauss we show that women are no longer more accepting of lower wages than men by using linked employer-employee data.

It can be so frustrating to read STS research. Here are Bartscherer and Reinhart osf.io/rbyt6_v1/ Look at their flawed logic: Replication is *used as a career strategy*. The evidence? People were not known for earlier research. The clear confound? ECR’s drove the replication movement! 1/x

Hi @socarxiv.bsky.social, is it just me (if so, what am I missing?) or does the Zotero Connector (for Chrome) not always pick the pdf fulltext of the respective preprint?

Here, e.g., the pdf is not picked: osf.io/preprints/so...

Here, e.g., it works just fine:
