- Reposted by Daniel Saldivia GonzattiIn just over eight months, Berlin will hold its 20th state election since 1946. While its well known East West divide in voting behaviour is often attributed to the city’s former split into capitalist and socialist halves, these differences existed even before the city’s division. A thread. 🧵

- Reposted by Daniel Saldivia GonzattiI’m excited to share that my first book came out this summer! The book looks at how EU state aid cases become politicised (and de-politicised) and what this means for the EU’s legitimacy. At its core, the book shows how competition policy is never just technical, but also deeply political.

- Reposted by Daniel Saldivia GonzattiIs meritocratic ideology an "opium of the masses" of sorts that tames redistributive demands? Not for lower income strata. The myriad mechanisms through which the rich exert disproportionate influence are probably better explanations of why we do not observe higher redistribution. Check it out!😊👇
