I really liked this idea of using a histogram as a legend in a choropleth map (since land isn't unemployed; people are), so I made a little guide to doing it with #rstats, {ggplot2}, and {patchwork} www.andrewheiss.com/blog/2025/02...

Some IOs - like the IMF, UNSC, and the WHO - group small states together in 'proxy' systems, while powerful states speak for themselves. In new (open access!) work with @rickyclark.bsky.social and Ayse Kaya in @the-peio.bsky.social, we focus on the case of climate change in the IMF. 1/3

Ben’s great piece captures a problem that IMO we are seeing across non-US developed countries: the unwillingness to lead and take responsibility to choose leadership. Leading is not just winning the polls; it’s taking a stand on a policy vision, running w/ it, taking a risk, owning the consequences.

Fascinating paper on where 6000 global elites went to college. Billionaires, CEOs, heads of state, central bankers, etc. In a word: Harvard. Fully 10% of global elites went to Harvard. Elite US schools are over-represented (23% IvyPlus), but nobody comes close to Harvard. 🧵

The point is that at university you're meant to be taught by researchers. It's higher education because it's not just a static body of knowledge; researchers are the people who can teach you to make new knowledge yourself

Weak autocracies are far more common than strong autocracies. They are also often far more dangerous and damaging than strong autocracies. Never take hope from an autocrat’s weakness. Instead, prepare for the worst. A 🧵 based on 2 of my books: (1/N)

Ziel der #Schuldenbremse ist, Politiker einzuschränken und deren Zeitinkonsistenz zu mindern. Sie zeigt auch, wie ernst sie ihre verfassungsmäßigen Pflichten nehmen – und verringert so die Informationsasymmetrie zwischen Wählern und Politikern. Mehr dazu: www.telepolis.de/forum/Telepo...
