Finanspolitiska ramverkets konstruktör har ändrat sig I veckans avsnitt av Starta Pressarna  fortsätter debatten om det finanspolitiska ramverketoch behovet av stora framtida investeringar i infrastruktur, bostäder, försvar och energiomställning. Medverkande i det här avsnittet är — förutom Daniel Suhonen — Per Molander och Max Jerneck. Som alltid på den här podden — intressant, slagkraftigt och tankeväckande!

Is ethnic segregation positive? In many European countries over the past decades, there has been increasing frustration over what is perceived as a lack of social integration of immigrants and children of foreign-born parents. One factor that researchers and politicians have highlighted as a possible explanation is what is called ‘neighbourhood effects,’ which, simply put, refers to how the area where one grows up and/or lives affects one’s life. There has...

Kan etnisk segregation vara gynnsam? I en nyligen publicerad rapport — Goda grannar: en ESO-rapport om grannskapets betydelse för integration — visar författarna att etniskt segregerat boende inte ’per definition’ behöver vara något negativt. Detta konstaterande har fått viss uppmärksamhet i medierna och framställts som något  spännande och nytt … Vid närmare eftertanke är det dock uppenbart att ingen rimligen kan ha ifrågasatt att om man växer upp och bor...

All citizens must have the freedom and right to question and leave their own group. Against those who do not...

.[embedded content] Die universalistischen Ideen der Aufklärung sind trotz der zahlreichen Kritikpunkte, die gegen sie erhoben wurden, immer noch relevant. Die Aufklärung war geprägt von einem Geist der Erforschung, der zu neuen Entdeckungen sowohl in der Wissenschaft als auch in der Kultur führte. Anstatt eine enge Weltanschauung zu fördern, ermutigte sie die Menschen, Annahmen und religiöse Überzeugungen in Frage zu stellen. Sie bietet immer noch einen Rahmen...

Susan Neiman on why left is not woke .[embedded content] As argued by Susan, the universalist ideas of the Enlightenment are still relevant, despite the numerous criticisms that have been levelled against them. The Enlightenment was characterized by a spirit of exploration that led to new discoveries in both science and culture. Rather than promoting a narrow worldview, it encouraged people to question assumptions and religious beliefs. It still provides a...
