"En deux ans, l’Espagne a collecté 5,6 milliards d’euros grâce à la taxation exceptionnelle des banques et énergéticiens, tout en renforçant aides sociales, transports et pouvoir d’achat. Le gouvernement Sánchez a ainsi limité l’impact de la crise sans creuser davantage le déficit, en assumant une logique de redistribution."

This can help explain why tax-based #redistribution fails: it adds a feedback to social disorder (class war), which perpetuates #inequality. Turbulence creates boundaries; symmetric feedback pairs = crossings. Autopoietic #philosophy ensues. If the eddies are too large, that ↕️ flow bifurcates ⬆️➡️.

Longtemps présentée comme un bouclier social, la France voit aujourd’hui les inégalités repartir à la hausse, jusqu’à dépasser la moyenne européenne.

The article reports that support for wealth redistribution is driven more by beliefs about fairness and meritocracy than by envy toward the wealthy.

This topic is of interest to psychology readers because it clarifies how fairness beliefs shape political attitudes and how emotion and cognition interact in the formation of policy preferences. It emphasizes meritocracy as a key cognitive frame influencing judgments about economic justice across different populations.
