This paper shows that women get fewer and smaller parental transfers, and different assets. Tax breaks favor business assets (more often inherited by men); men pay lower effective tax rates. Resulting gender tax gap (2% inheritances, 22% gifts) reinforces 🇩🇪wealth inequality

Since the turn of the 2010s, thanks to the rise of tech, the US has pulled ahead economically.
This idea is everywhere from Washington to Davos—and it's paralyzing Europe
But it's simply not true!

Interesting paper! When you ask people about the most important issue "facing the country," they often say immigration. But when you ask them about issues facing them personally, it doesn't crack the top 10.
This indicates that voters are reacting to media narratives, not their own experience.

America’s tech leaders praising Trump unabashedly for his extraordinary, pro-business leadership is so depressing. You can be a billionaire many many times over and still be stupid enough to think he is good for your business (let alone for America).

Research by IMF economists shows that the rise and fall of inflation in advanced economies since 2020 has mostly been driven by supply shocks (energy, food, supply chains). Macroeconomic conditions "played a secondary role".
