Social tables are a treasure trove of information - easy to fall into a Rabbit Hole. One example: Mean income of a forestry inspector was higher than for a banker in 1863 Prussia. See my new paper featuring German Social Tables: osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/2f…

How unequal was a rural society in the Roman Empire? A new WP by Philipp Erfurth @theErforce examines income inequality in rural Roman Egypt in 1st century using daily social tables that build on data from papyri.

Paper 2/3 of my PhD now out! How did unification in 19th century impact income inequality in DE and IT? Using new social tables for Germany, I study balance of power between core & periphery in newly unified states.

Delighted to give my first "foreign" talk on "Visions of Inequality" in Mexico City.
Fue un placer tener a @BrankoMilan presentando su nuevo libro en #SobreMéxico 🤓🤓 Pronto el video de la presentación

The 1848 Revolution is possibly one of the most interesting episodes for class/social analysis. It is not surprising that in the Cagé-Piketty book it gets much analyzed, incl. Tocqueville's and Marx's writings on it.

New WP alert 🚨 In new #LIS WP, I find evidence of regional inequality convergence using @lisdata disaggregated at subnational/regional level. Convergence is associated with unitary rather than federal state systems.

Boxer at rest - Incredible ~4th century BC Bronze statue on Display at Palazzo Massimo in Rome. Visited the Massimo several times and never more than a few dozen people. When in Rome avoid the crowds at Trevi Fountain and go see the Boxer (and amazing Roman mosaics)..

See you online!
!New WP Alert! In my new Working Paper, I examine regional inequalities in Habsburg regions from 19th century until today. The findings provides a (small) glimpse at economic history of Central and Eastern Europe through lens of convergence in the past 150 years. A thread 1/n
Lastly, from 2000-2018 there is significant evidence of convergence. Yet despite convergence and EU cohesion policy, a large number of regions is still well below their relative levels of 1870 and overall inequality across regions today is still well above levels in 19th century.
