by Hannah Wise, our external editor
[link removed]
In times of economic difficulty, it’s tempting for the state to step in to protect things like employees. But can measures such as the minimum wage prevent poverty? In her video, Hannah explains why this is not the case and why state intervention is not the way forward.

A Coherent Integration of Women into the 2nd Pillar

Pension provision is the wrong place to address problems such as non-family childcare, the lack of individual taxation, or barriers to work-life balance. These problems need to be addressed at the root, not after 40 years on the job. Pension supplements distributed according to the watering can principle and financed by the pay-as-you-go system must also be avoided in the name of generation solidarity.
Green Light for e-Fuels
[link removed]
The EU has decided on a back door that will enable passenger cars to run on e-fuels after 2035. This is the right decision, because exponents who believe the case for technology openness is outmoded and that e-fuels are not fit for purpose are overlooking some important points.
New Publication Coming in December:
