1/ Kudos to the Italian Ministry of Public Education. Starting in January 2020, "only scientific papers published in open «repositories» will be evaluated and rewarded." [Google's English translation]. H/t Milica Ševkušić.

2/ I call this the Liège incentive, after @bernardrentier
adopted it at U Liège c. 2007. It remains one of the most effective steps a uni can take to foster #openaccess. The Italian ministry seems to be the first to adopt this policy for all the universities in a country.
@bernardrentier 3/ I track institutions that have adopted this kind of policy, and would welcome any updates.

NEW REPORT: The teacher weekly wage penalty hit 21.4 percent in 2018, a record high epi.org/165729 by @Sly21 and @LarryMishel #education #teachers
"In 2018, teacher strikes in West Virginia, Oklahoma, Arizona, North Carolina, Kentucky, and Colorado raised the profile of deteriorating teacher pay as a critical public policy issue."
"Teachers, students, parents, and community supporters protested cutbacks in public education spending and a squeeze on teacher pay that have persisted well into the economic recovery from the Great Recession."

Here's what the #CNP has planned for education in the United States. With the Heritage Foundation's support, of course.

Compare this to what DeVos has done as Secretary of Education: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betsy_DeV…

I was born and raised in the beautiful city of #Curitiba, southern #Brazil!
This region is famous for being cold and cloudy (yes it can be cold in Brazil!).
It is also famous for its very endemic and beautiful #Araucaria pine trees. #voicesIWS @IWS_Network @500womensci /1
#Actions speak louder than words! I am thankful for my parents for being who they are. Both always showed love for Nature, different interests and #curiosity! So no wonder by observing them I grew up to be a very curious girl who really loved Nature. #voicesIWS @IWS_Network /2
During High School I became fascinated by the #mendelian #genetics classes and the work of #gregormendel! I also loved studying animals, ecosystems and climate so the obvious choice for me in University (@PUCPR_oficial ) was BIOLOGY!! @IWS_Network #womeninscience #voicesIWS /3

1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.

1/OK, just for fun, let's evaluate the demands of The Communist Manifesto in terms of modern economic theory:
2/Demand 1 is to abolish private ownership of land and apply the rents to public purposes.

This is EXACTLY the optimal policy recommended in a famous paper by Arnott & Stiglitz, and is also known as the Henry George Theorem.
papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…
3/Demand 2 is a progressive income tax.

Our best evidence indicates that progressive income taxes don't discourage people from working very much: rajchetty.com/chettyfiles/mi…

So this is a pretty "safe" form of taxation.
