Some Piketty (et al.) bangers to explain why he is so respected, even before Das Capital 2.0, and whatever AI-generated stuff he publishes in the newspaper today

In the 1990s, he formalised theories of self-fulfilling preferences and redistribution. He showed us (1/4)

Today I submitted my PhD! It draws on new archival evidence to examine Che Guevara’s trade and diplomatic missions to Afro-Asia and the socialist bloc. Just in time for the World Cup too ⚽️

The World Cup begins tomorrow, and many will watch the matches. Soccer reminds us of something we must not forget: life is not a race to show off on our own, but a path we learn to walk together. Anyone who does not know how to pass the ball, even if they have talent, has not yet understood the game. Anyone who does not know how to live with and for others has not yet understood life. #ApostolicJourney

The "diffusion of the iPhone deepened the decline in births among women under 30 while suppressing the rise in births among older women...the diffusion of the iPhone explains 33–52% of the decline in the general fertility rate among women aged 15–44." https://t.co/EeNz1QlW7O

It’s a little difficult to put into words the impact he’s had on the city.

History’s full circle

Today’s fertility decline concern (see @TheEconomist piece) was “yesterday’s” population growth global alarmism

Ces épitaphes viennent d'être gravées au #perelachaise sur le tombeau que Marjane Satrapi a dédié à son mari :
"De la vie nous attendions l'Éternité. Quelle déception.
Nous sommes la question que l'Univers se pose.
Si la réponse est l'Amour
Ce fut court mais ce fut riche."

I have just finished reading this fine and moving autobiography of the eminent Hindi writer Mannu Bhandari, sensitively rendered into English by Poonam Saxena. I shall be writing about the book and what it tells us about our country in a forthcoming column.

Wow. @derspiegel has made millions of Nazi party membership cards searchable so Germans can look up their ancestors and get a glimpse of what they were doing under Hitler
