Gute Bildung nur für Reiche? Die Sache mit den Privatschulen
Es gibt immer mehr Privatschulen. Bereichern sie das Schulsystem? Oder spalten sie die Gesellschaft?

Große Vermögen sind in Deutschland oft in familiären Netzwerken gegen Verluste abgesichert, zeigt die Forschung von @dariatisch.bsky.social und @emmaischinsky.bsky.social
Etwa 8% der größten Vermögen von heute können direkt auf eine Reichenliste von 1913 zurückgeführt werden.

In our @schechtlm.bsky.social SER article we show that daughters are less likely than sons to receive parental transfers, values tend to be lower & daughters receive different types of asset. This translates into a gender tax gap of 2% for inheritances and 22% for gifts.

Erbschaftssteuer: Warum Frauen weniger erben und trotzdem mehr Steuern zahlen
Egal, wie reich Frauen werden, Männer sind im Schnitt reicher. Das liegt nicht nur am Gender-Pay-Gap, sondern auch daran, wie die deutsche Steuer Frauen diskriminiert.
