Eine besonders effektive Maßnahme wäre, die Dienstleistungen der Big-Tech Unternehmen zu besteuern. Dass die EU mehr Dienstleistungen aus den USA beziehen als umgekehrt, davon ist in Trumps Reden bisher nichts zu hören. Einzelne EU-Länder erheben jetzt schon eine Digital Service Tax.

"The bottom 80% of earners spent 25% more than they did four years earlier, barely outpacing price increases of 21% over that period. The top 10% spent 58% more."

„The EU spends about 2% of GDP on research and development, barely half America’s 3.6%. Most of the gap is explained by lower R&D spending by businesses. That calls for deeper capital markets to provide risk capital for innovative firms…“ (alle Zitate: The Economist)

Check out our new paper. We explore how housing booms and pension withdrawals reshaped wealth inequality from 2007-2021 in Chile. A story of macroeconomic shifts and extreme inequality.

Marine Le Pen is going to jail and won't be able to run in 2027. Judges have applied the law in a case that has exposed extraordinary amounts of criminal activities. Don't make this a question of public opinion or what the far right and foreign leaders think of it. It's the rule of law at work.

🧵 NEW: Is Britain really a high tax country?
Our collective tax bill is at its highest share of GDP since the 1940s
But actually, the tax and NI paid by the average worker are at their lowest in decades.
What’s going on?

Aside from any electoral impact (many Germans view Merkel nostalgically, but times have changed and Merz wants to show CDU has too), something almost Shakespearean about AM confronting the man she outmanoeuvred 23 years ago just as he's finally on the brink of power...

Viktor Orbán celebrating the CDU/CSU voting with the AfD. Says much about where the applause for Merz move is coming from, in Germany and in the EU.

Mearsheimer: Great powers always ruthlessly pursue their own interests. Denmark should be pragmatic
Varoufakis: Denmark's aggressive joining of EU provoked Trump. It's their own fault.

23. November 1961: In Ost-Berlin tagt das Zentralkomitee der SED. Walter Ulbricht kündigt an: „Jawohl, an der Westgrenze der DDR werden Minen gelegt.“
Niemand soll die DDR mehr Richtung Bundesrepublik verlassen können, es sei denn um den Preis des eigenen Lebens.

14. November 1989: In Ost-Berlin tagt der Vorstand der DDR-Bauernpartei (DBD). Jahrzehntelang treue Erfüllungsgehilfin der SED, erklärt sie sich nun für „selbständig und unabhängig“.
Diese Selbstüberschätzung währt nicht lange: Mitte 1990 verschwindet sie - in der CDU.
