My favorite #topnine2024 book covers I've made (probably missed a few…). #topnine #bookcovers #bookdesign #graphicdesign

@Mattzwolinski Awesome, would love to see you revisit the argument(s) again! The "least bad tax" is – from a pragmatic stand point – "good enough" for me, but I prefer the stronger case: taxing land (rent) is a *requirement of justice* and a proper view of property rights. Maybe you'd disagree?

[Rasmus Pettersson @RasmusP]

https://t.co/IctmGaG4yZ recommend reading on South Korea, UBI and land-value tax. Go @Jaemyung_Lee, get those rent-seekers!

@Geminianum Fantastic work!

@SpeedWatkins This seems like a knock down argument against the idea that moral obligations are grounded in God. I'm curious, have you ever heard any good responses to it from theists?

[Rasmus Pettersson @RasmusP]

Take for example the russian oligarchy. They've gotten rich mainly from resource grabbing and stealing from the commons. Their wealth belongs to the Russian people, who can trace a lot of their problems directly to the fact that a few people are billionaires.

[Rasmus Pettersson @RasmusP]

This is a vast oversimplification. While it may be true that someone's problems aren't singularly caused by a specific billionaire, the resource stealing by a large amount of billionaires directly cause the hollowing out of the welfare of the rest of society.

@SG_Posters That's interesting, that's my main reason too 😁 I'll scribble down really rough ideas (almost illegible) so I'll remember them once I start working on them for real. But it's also nice to get a sense if the layout even works to begin with.

I read a book by Swedish social democrat Daniel Suhonen and wrote some comments on it, if that's the sort of thing you're interested in it can be read here: https://t.co/GXaC3Ka42a (In English and Swedish).

@vanschneider how we can make this book sell or convey the meaning of the book on the cover etc), then art is about offering a perspective. But the best covers aren't cold and calculated, it's the ones where the designer has infused their own perspective of the book into the cover. That's art.

[Rasmus Pettersson @RasmusP]

@vanschneider I've made the same journey, my younger self would agree with your younger self. And my present self agrees with you now. I can only speak for my own profession (book design), but it seems to me that design is typically construed as offering a solution (in my work a solution to >

@SG_Posters Thank you! ♥️

[Rasmus Pettersson @RasmusP]

@Geminianum Thanks, that means a lot coming from you!

[Rasmus Pettersson @RasmusP]

@Domestika Thank you, I managed to fix it by deleting my draft and starting a new one.

[Rasmus Pettersson @RasmusP]

@Domestika Hi, I'm trying to enter the Reimagine the Screen contest, but whenever I try to upload images for my project I get this error. Help please?

[Rasmus Pettersson @RasmusP]

@vanschneider I just honestly have a hard time believing it'd be as good as it seems (or as good as I'd need it to be). Only one way to find out, I'll give it a try next week and let you know my thoughts!
