Now this is a first for me at an academic conference: a famous economist (Thomas Piketty) discussing the future with an (even more?) famous science fiction writer (Kim Stanley Robinson). Interesting so far, but hoping for some space travel questions! #WIC2026

CONCLUSION: An equitable, prosperous, and sustainable future is possible.
What stands in the way is political choice and the hard work of building a political coalition.

It was a great honor and pleasure to present our paper on childcare and the gender time gap in Austria (joint work with @Tamara Premrov) at the World Inequality Conference 2026 in Paris!

Looking forward to 3 days of inspiring research on (gender) inequality and global justice. #WIC2026

very important: sectoral shift and food production/consumption shift, rather than just a uniform degrowth, which will not to the same degree meet the targets.

"Tax justice cannot be separated from broader reforms of the global economy" — ICRICT Co-Chair @jayatighosh.bsky.social at #WIC2026 in Paris 🇫🇷

Building a more equitable economic system requires sovereign debt restructuring, stronger financial safety & fair taxation, she said.

The technonationalist project has energy. The egalitarian camp doesn't — yet.
@thomaspiketty.bsky.social at #WIC2026 in Paris: the challenge isn't just political, it's narrative. Progressives must offer a future that feels attainable.

We need to think of climate change as a project of development. the discussion today is based on a too narrow set of proposals, we need a broadening of discussion with more proposals coming from the global South.
