What do we know about corporate ownership? This study finds that the real owners of MNC shares can be identified in only 5.8 % of all cases. Over 80 % of the top ten shareholders of 500 large MNCs are institutional investors.

The article ignores the impact of automation and AI, which many expect to deflate the demand for labor. We might see a simultanous decline of both, supply and demand of labor. Demography shrinks the number of workers, automation and AI the number of jobs.

Ive written about @ecb.europa.eu and @ec.europa.eu push for a Savings and Investment Union:
SIU, the new answer to 'how do we pay for' , is a Trojan horse for the American welfare model, increasingly in the hands of (private equity) financiers

The EU’s Savings and Investments Union (SIU) aims to get EU citizens to invest more of their savings on capital markets, a goal to be achieved in part by further privatizing pensions. Daniela Gabor in the FT on why the SIU is based on false assumptions:

Der EuGH hat soeben Maltas Goldene Pässe für rechtswidrig erklärt. In seiner EU-Kolumne hatte Martin Höpner (in Übereinstimmung mit vielen Juristen) mit einem anderen Urteil gerechnet. Hier - jetzt frei lesbar - die Kolumne und seine Argumente: www.merkur-zeitschrift.de/artikel/euro...

Martin Wolf in the FT on the fiscal and distributive effects of Trump's tariffs and of the OBBBA. Their combined net effect on the income distribution is regressive. The rich benefit most from the tax cuts, while the tariffs will affect the poor more:

As we said in 2017: if academic freedom is under attack in Hungary and we don’t fight back, it will be under attack sooner than later in other countries, too. #CEU #Harvard

Viel ist von Trumps „Mar-a-Lago” die Rede. Oft fehlt der Hinweis, dass dieses hübsch-hässliche Anwesen einst vom Wiener Architekten Josef Urban (1872-1933) ausgestattet wurde. In Österreich war er davor ein Mitbegründer der progressiven Künstlervereinigung Hagenbund.

Austria's new national government is de-prioritizing climate action, but the City of Vienna is stepping up its efforts. This reminds us of the importance of local decisions. Interesting article on NPR:

Janan Ganesh (FT) asks the interesting question why an increase in travel has not reduced nationalism. The answer, I suggest, might be social polarisation. Some people travel more (and become more open-minded), but is the rest that has turned more nationalist. The two segments barely overlap.

Corporate America has been lobbying intensely behind the scenes to change Trump’s mind on tariffs in recent weeks, as this FT essay shows—much of it in private, to avoid Trump’s “bruising” counterripostes.
