Still I one of the most beautiful sociology/economics findings I've ever helped create. When we asked 50 economists from "The North" to rank the causes of Britain's growth problems they gave substantially opposite answers to 50 economist from "The South". https://t.co/i950R7u0xo
Poundbury, 2030
- You wake up
- Lab-grown full English for breakfast, served by robot butler
- Walk your children (which you can afford, because the housing crisis has been solved) to school
- HS22 takes you direct to Spaceport Cornwall, which can sustain heavy-lift launches
- No need to take off your shoes or belt at security
- You arrive at an oaken space station where your employer rents lab space
- Here you use the zero-G to make pharmaceuticals that couldn’t be made on Earth
- While you’re there, you check out the view of the lunar colony New Poundbury. The Georgian townhouses are really coming along
- As you descend back to Earth following the conclusion of your working day, you admire the Wales-sized artificial island that is nearing completion on Dogger Bank
- Pick up children, who have spent most of their day outdoors
- Trip to the gym with your friends, who all live within 15 minutes thanks to (gentle) urban density and superlative public transport
- Lab-grown toad-in-the-hole for dinner
- Walk among the town’s fruit trees at dusk (a bonus of global heating)
- Plenty of quality time with your family owing to the high national productivity that resulted from King Charles’s crushing of the Nimbys
- Don your nightcap and look forward to another glorious day of Anglofuturism
Does class/occupational maturity occur? Do people become stabilised in their class position at ~ age 35, as most studies assume?
According to our new study (w/ Bihagen & Kjellsson) not for most Swedes

In this new @FrontPsychol study, using a population-wide randomized survey experiment, I find that telling people about inequality of opportunity increases their own perceptions of being downwardly mobile https://t.co/zu55zzIGNt
