New on @wid.world: @gatonievas.bsky.social & P. Druschke find that 70% of World Bank and IMF funds are allocated to G7 geopolitically aligned countries.
Rich countries pretend to be in favour of democracy but in practice they've built an undemocratic international system.

L'emprise des grandes fortunes françaises Il n’existe aucun sujet de politique économique et sociale où l’on puisse observer un écart aussi béant entre le soutien populaire et la représentation nationale.

Skin Tone Penalties: Quasi-Experimental Evidence on Colorism in Football - WID - World Inequality Database This paper studies skin tone discrimination in men’s professional football by comparing shots that narrowly score with those that narrowly miss the goal.

📝New research by @billywoom.bsky.social and @doniakamel.bsky.social uncovers how skin tone shapes player recognition in professional #football — even when performance is identical⚽️

These biases translate into lower market valuations for darker-skinned players.
