Thanks @christyapetit.bsky.social and @sebdiessner.bsky.social for their insightful contribution to our forthcoming @govjournal.bsky.social SI on the political foundations of market interventionism. Stay tuned for more ☺️

Drawing on our new Knowledge Economy Index (doi.org/10.1093/ser/...) and earlier work on Germany (doi.org/10.1177/0032...)
We argue that policy change in the transition to the knowledge economy has been *biased towards the highly skilled* across different political economies (Sweden, Germany, UK)🎓
