New Paper 🔔 We look at the contrasting meanings of merit that elites in the 🇬🇧 and 🇩🇰 deploy when justifying their success. Co-authored with @aaronsreeves @chellersgaard @antongrau 🧵 below… academic.oup.com/sf/advance-…

What’s the most important quality of a successful scientist? Chemistry laureate Carolyn Bertozzi believes it’s resilience. “You dust yourself off, you get back up there and you go out the next day and try again,” she said. Do you agree? #NobelPrize

🇦🇷😳 Marcelo Bielsa back in 2024: "I am sure that football is in a process of decline. It is becoming less and less attractive because what made it the best game in the world is not there anymore." "If you let a lot of people watch football, but you don't protect the pleasure of what they watch, that favours business, because the business is that a lot of people watch football." "For me, the introduction of technology (like VAR) does a lot of harm to football. This sport has a particularity: when it becomes completely predictable, it loses its appeal." "As time passes, as fewer and fewer footballers are worth watching and as the game produced is less and less enjoyable, this artificial increase in the number of spectators will be interrupted."

Nu er det endeligt slået fast. Der kan ikke samles 90 mandater om en formueskat med denne melding fra @radikale som vi i @DanskErhverv bakker fuldt op om. Helt enig med Lidegaard. Det Danmark har brug for er en regering, der kan sætte det lange lys på, lave reformer og skabe velstand. Ikke en regering, der vil straffe initiativ med en formueskat og hive raske danskere ud af arbejdsmarkedet.

“🇩🇰has proposed a really modest wealth tax on the super rich of 0.5%. There are people who say it would be an economic disaster. It’s absurd. Does anybody think that if you tax Bill Gates by 0.5%, he will stop working?” - @JosephEStiglitz at @EUparliament #TaxMix2050 @EU_Taxud

Altså hvor mange kan låne 15 mio. af deres mor... 15 mio... Det handler ikke om 'små-iværksættere', men om hovedrige personer.
