Very interesting. The mention of Smith makes me think of the distinction drawn between professions by those now regarded as the classics of economic thought (the productive versus the unproductive); at one time,

Totally irresponsible for columnists, journalists, and electeds to keep parroting this nonsense. See Young et al. “The most striking finding of this research is how little elites seem willing to move to exploit tax advantages across state lines in the United States.” www.jstor.org/stable/24756...

Von den Vätern zu den Söhnen: Erben ist nicht erst seit den Vorschlägen zur Erneuerung der #Erbschaftssteuer ein kontroverses Thema. Denn Erbschaften sind sehr ungleich verteilt – auch innerhalb von Familien. Das Geschlecht spielt eine große Rolle, wie WZB-Forscherin @natrinh.bsky.social zeigt.

🚨 THE NEW CABINET 🚨 Andy Burnham is the new Prime Minister, and he's finalised his cabinet. This new cabinet is less representative than Keir Starmer's first cabinet, which was the most representative – in terms of education backgrounds – ever recorded. Our analysis 🧵👇
“Andy Burnham becomes the first post-war, university-educated English Prime Minister *not* to have attended Oxford University... but the more revealing story lies in the rest of his background” - Lee Elliot Major in our latest blog post #LSEInequalitiesBlog
Andy Burnham's biggest challenge isn't Britain's old class system – it's the new one
Britain has a Prime Minister who is more Evertonian than Etonian. It's a radical break from the traditional elite - but how is the UK's class divide changing?

Larry David shouting at an anti-vaxxer, in a hilarious satire about him and the person who put him in a position of power; and he also shouts out your alias, which is the name of the person who decided not to patent a vaccine for the good of humanity… in the very same short film… oh dear, that’s…
"Today’s elite may see itself as more meritocratic and down-to-earth, but do its claims of progressive social change stand up?" Class privilege continues to shape who reaches the top, write @samfriedman.bsky.social & @aaronreeves.bsky.social fabians.org.uk/common-people/

L’immunité présidentielle, la carte joker de Marine Le Pen pour éviter un passage par la case prison
Si elle remporte la présidentielle, la candidate du Rassemblement national sera protégée de l’exécution d’une éventuelle condamnation définitive pour détournement de fonds publics jusqu’à son départ de l’Élysée. D’où l’intérêt, pour elle, de gagner du temps jusqu’à l’élection de 2027.
