Behind heatwaves and #FoodCrisis is a global #water crisis that urgently needs attention. 💧

Ihr wisst schon wie höhere Zinsen die Inflation senken?

Über mehr Arbeitslosigkeit, niedrigere Einkommen und einen Rückgang der Nachfrage.

A major congratulations to our amazing student PhD student Javiera Petersen who recently took on the position of Under Secretary of the Economy of Chile!🎉

“[Mariana Mazzucato] is one of the economists who has had a strong influence on me. Her idea, which she calls the Mission Economy, is that of defining a goal, but not mandating a route to achieving that goal. That results in all kinds of innovations.”

This line from #DontLookUp perfectly encapsulates what is special about Earth, and why we should fight for it. Evolution of intelligent life requires a planet that’s continuously habitable for 3 or 4 billion years. That such a planet exists is a miracle.

'Finally, the UCL report calls for a tech-specific SEC disclosures framework that considers the unique business model of digital giants. It’s a good idea. Data is an asset and should be counted as such.'

Wolfgang Schmidt Olaf Scholz know it.
