ðŸ‘ī Welfare

The Pay-as-you-go Pension System

Why the pension system is structurally doomed — and what could have been done instead.

ðŸ’ļ Public Finance

Public Debt

₮3.3 trillion. Who we owe it to, who will pay, and why the political silence is a failure.

📈 Taxation

The Laffer Curve

Too much tax kills tax revenue. The interactive demonstration of a mechanism governments prefer to ignore.

ðŸ’ķ Labour Market

🎭 Taxation

Fiscal Illusion

Why we always underestimate what the state costs us — and how this illusion benefits governments.

ðŸŠĪ Welfare

When going back to work means losing money. The paradox of welfare benefits.

🏭 Taxation

Corporate Tax

Who really pays corporate tax? Shareholders, employees, or consumers? The answer is uncomfortable.

ðŸ§ą Trade

Protectionism

Tariffs protect a few visible jobs — while destroying even more other jobs and driving up prices for consumers.

📂 State

French Bureaucracy

The 35-Hour Week

The real consequences of the 35-hour week: a generous idea that penalizes those who need it most.

🌍 Environment

The Environmental Crisis

Left-wing climate policy relies on bans and subsidies. It penalizes the poor and is inefficient. The carbon market does better — at a lower cost.

⚖ïļ Inequality

Equality of opportunity vs. outcomes

Two often confused concepts, two radically different policies. Which one actually creates social mobility — and which produces compression without mobility?
