Coupling and Fertility are Falling.

In Finland, Mexico, Peru, South Korea, Thailand, Turkey and the US, both are going down.

Superb column by @jburnmurdoch.bsky.social

A must-read for anyone interested in why fertility is falling, and how to respond.

I do not want to encourage anyone to leave their country to find refuge in Europe for our own gain, even though it is tempting. We need to find ways to maintain academic freedom and freedom of expression wherever we are.

We should be in full solidarity with our colleagues in US universities in these days. It must be incredibly hard to navigate the pressure and protect these institutions that still produce the best research, faculty and students in the world. www.ft.com/content/d95c...

Dass die Grünen eigene Akzente im Finanzpaket setzen wollen, ist verständlich. Es letztlich nicht zu unterstützen, würde ihre Glaubwürdigkeit im Hinblick auf Ukraine aber auch Infrastruktur langfristig beschädigen. Es wäre eine Dummheit. (Auch wenn viele Dummheiten im Sondierungspapier stehen).

I wrote a new piece for foreign policy.

The US's postwar role as guarantor of Europe’s security is over – and may even turn adversarial. But Europe has an overlooked trump card.

When it comes to manufacturing Europe blows the US out of the water.

German public TV just published this poll of first-time voters. A massive lead for socialist Left party on 27%.

Left + SPD + Greens on 54% among first-time-voters. Those voters were also slightly less likely to vote AfD than national average.

So much for the “far-right youth”.
