Hello dear Spotify founder @MartinLorentzon

There is nothing “absurd” about pointing out that Swedish billionaires like yourself pay a lower share of their income in taxes than ordinary Swedes. It is a fact.

Economics has an elitism problem.

It is the *only* discipline that exhibits a high and growing institutional concentration among its Nobel laureates.

It's basically a rite of passage to have been at one of only eight elite US universities to win the prize.

Prices of imported goods at major U.S. retailers have continued to increase steadily since "Liberation Day".

Our updated tariff paper now covers 262K+ products with country-of-origin information — including 60K newly added — and features improved methods for identifying affected categories using Federal Register data.

Will tariffs be inflationary?

One argument I haven't seen people make is that there is a potential for large and wide-spread tariffs to act similarly like a small version of the European energy shock in 2022: By triggering shift in the coordination equilibrium, ...

Zero-sum thinking is on the rise, and weaker economic growth may explain why.

Older generations grew up with high growth and formed aspirational attitudes; younger generations have faced low growth and are more zero-sum.

New on https://t.co/lmi0paMm42: "Firms as tax shelters: The disguise of personal expenses as business expenses", by D. Leite
Key finding: individuals who control firms shift 36% of their monthly personal expenditures to firms
Conclusion: inequality is underestimated; redistributive taxation won't be enough to solve the pb; we also need economic democracy

Inflation differs across income groups as consumption baskets’ prices rise at different rates (round dot). But fossil fuel profit flows alone also compensate large shares of inflation for the rich sharply increasing the inequality in inflation burdens (squares and disks). 9/
