    A fascinating and little-known fact about U.S. history🇺🇸: The U.S.once relied heavily on a tax system, strikingly similar to a wealth tax, that played a key role in fueling its growth and development. A thread diving into the intriguing history of the General Property Tax.🧵

    To the world, Alberto Alesina was the engaged, prolific economist improving the policy debate. To Economics, he was a giant & driving force of Political Economy which grew under his lead. To me, he was my brilliant, warm, funny, close co-author & friend & I will miss him terribly

    I often think about this: younger people in the US and other wealthy nations are far more likely to have a zero-sum mindset—the idea that someone’s gain means a loss for others—compared to older generations. From our paper on zero-sum thinking (full 🧵 x.com/s_stantcheva/s…)
