Shared an office today with a guy who worked from 8-2.45 I asked him what he does after. He said “3-6pm is my free time! I see friends, play sport” I asked, what about evenings? He said: “that’s my evening time! I relax” Gotta hand it to the Danes when it comes to work norms

What was the most illuminating thing we learned while writing THE BIG CON? For me, it’s that many consultants are also disillusioned with it. People go into consulting for good reasons - they’re told it has “impact”, purpose, saves the planet. But they soon become disappointed.

2 weeks after she got the jab, my granny contracted Covid-19. She's been in hospital with chest problems many times before - so we were initially terrified But while the first dose didn't vaccinate her, it did protect her - she had minor symptoms, no cough & is now "100% fine"💉

Funny, they never talk about "increasing dependency" on the state when it's bailing out the banks, handing out billions to businesses, or outsourcing public services to companies they used to work for

Gov has lots of responsibilities: supporting the vulnerable, helping people to help themselves, balancing the books. Not as simple as you to make out Marcus. Extending FSM to sch hols passes responsibility for feeding kids away from parents, to the State. It increases dependency.

oh, in order to be able to sell your labour you have to give half your income every month to the person or company that owns where you live? sounds familiar 🤔

it blows my mind how, given the scale of govt spending around the world today, public attention on public services & outsourcing, the explosion of PhD programmes in pol sci & econ, there is so little engagement with theories of the state & capacity/power in contemporary academia

'owning' a home in most capital cities is a luxury only those with parental wealth can afford. coops are 1000x more egalitarian. people my age here can afford to think about having kids. the process of accessing a flat isn't perfect & there aren't enough of them, but it's a start

The energy crisis has been the worst of times for most Europeans, but the best of times for energy companies. When emergencies mean record profits in essential sectors, public and corporate interests are not aligned. We need a new playbook of emergency economics. @EP_Petitions

Like many, I have previously experienced economic exclusion from academia so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that I think there should be more incentives & effort to communicate research beyond universities. Step 1 is challenging the idea that academics who do so are “unserious”

Who benefits when the price of insulin soars?🧐 My working paper with @INETeconomics today finds that between 2009-2018, insulin manufacturers distributed $122 billion to shareholders. So what does that mean for prices, patient access and innovation?👇

Who Benefits When the Price of Insulin Soars?

Contrary to pharmaceutical company claims, revenue from high insulin prices are going to shareholders, not R&D
