Germany seems like the worst place to be an economic progressive. The poorest dont want to tax the rich and generally replicate business propaganda on taxes. Tell me that ideas don't matter! journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00…

This, by Florian Fastenrath & Paul Marx, is an incredibly important paper. When (German left) politicians say their voters don't support redistributive tax policy they are (kind of) right. Huge methodological & political implications, some highlighted here.

What a great experience, coming together with works councils, students, union reps to talk about the radical right in contemporary capitalism & welfare. Many thanks to AK Oberösterreich for putting this together!
