Love, work and taxes: How tax systems shape our choices

There’s a particular moment, familiar to almost everyone who receives a payslip, when optimism meets reality. You see your gross salary – that encouraging number at the top – and then your eyes begin the slow downward journey. Line by line, contribution by contribution, acronym by acronym, that number starts to shrink. In this episode of Behind the Numbers, our host Ashley Ward is joined by Alexander Pick and Edoardo Magalini from the OECD Centre for Tax Policy and Administration to unpack Taxing Wages, the OECD’s flagship report on labour taxation. The episode explains the “tax wedge” – the gap between an employer’s total cost of hiring and an employee’s net take-home pay – and explores what the 2026 edition reveals about taxes, social contributions and benefits across OECD countries. It also looks at why household circumstances matter, including how tax systems can influence the choices couples make about whether both partners work, how much they work and how they balance paid work with family responsibilities. Host: Ashley Ward, Director’s Office Advisor and Communications Manager (OECD Statistics and Data Directorate) Guests: o Alexander Pick, Head of Tax Data and Statistical Analysis (OECD Centre for Tax Policy and Administration) o Edoardo Magalini, Tax Policy Analyst (OECD Centre for Tax Policy and Administration) To learn more about this policy area, go to https://www.oecd.org/en/publications/taxing-wages-2026_3a5169ef-en.html To learn more about the OECD, our global reach, and how to join us, go to www.oecd.org/about/ To keep up with latest at the OECD, visit www.oecd.org/ Get the latest OECD content delivered directly to your inbox!

Meredith Whittaker, Signal president: Privacy is a human right

“Private communication is a fundamental human right for a reason, because when those with power over you have access to your intimate thoughts and your communication, they use those to punish you. They can use them to persecute you. They can use them to shut you up.” Megha Mohan speaks to Meredith Whittaker, president of the Signal Foundation, which runs the encrypted messaging app Signal. Its end-to-end encyption means only the people in a conversation can read their messages. The protections are so strong that even Signal itself can’t see the contents. That privacy can be vital for journalists living under authoritarian governments, dissidents and other vulnerable people, but it can also allow scammers, child abusers and criminals to communicate beyond Signal’s view. Governments are demanding greater access to encrypted communications, but Whittaker says Signal would rather leave a country than weaken its protections. The Interview brings you conversations with people shaping our world, from all over the world. The best interviews from the BBC, including conversations with former Sudanese leader Aisha Musa, Ukrainian drone commander Robert Brovdi; plus many others You can listen on the BBC World Service on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 0800 GMT. Or you can listen to The Interview as a podcast, out three times a week on BBC Sounds or wherever you get your podcasts.

Why Does Progress Take So Long? | With David Deutsch

David Deutsch, physicist and author of The Beginning of Infinity, joins Alex Buxeda to discuss what makes a good explanation, why entropy is our friend, why belief has no place in rational thought, and why death is just a failure of engineering. From Popper and quantum gravity to the Enlightenment and falling birth rates, Deutsch makes the case that we explained our way into civilization, and that we will always be at the beginning of infinity. 0:00 Preview 1:06 Intro 1:46 What makes a good explanation 5:52 A theory's content is what it forbids 6:34 Anything physics allows is achievable 15:00 Why confidence and belief are the wrong goals 28:35 Will we ever reach the final truth? 33:02 Death is a failure of engineering 35:46 Is "the beginning of infinity" itself provisional? 38:20 Quantum gravity needs a new concept, not new math 42:28 Is there only one game in town? 49:02 Why knowledge didn't explode sooner 54:13 What makes someone a person 59:29 Is creativity just randomness at the edge of knowledge? 1:13:04 Is the Enlightenment fit? 1:16:39 Demography: North vs South Korea Support Schweizer Monat: https://schweizermonat.payrexx.com/pay?cid=77cf037a

Парадокс ИИ: план по внедрению перевыполнен – а что толку?

«Внедряй ИИ!» – это новый девиз бизнеса. Кажется, эта фантастическая инновация должна стремительно повысить производительность бизнеса и снизить нагрузку на его сотрудников. Но пока обещанного чуда не случилось, и даже наоборот – новый универсальный работник часто только мешается под ногами, отвлекает ресурсы, перегружает работой и снижает продуктивность фирм. Почему это происходит, какие ключевые ошибки совершает бизнес и как стремится выполнить и перевыполнить план по внедрению ИИ, чтобы отчитаться перед акционерами, – в новом выпуске «Экономики на слух» с выпускником РЭШ Максимом Афанасьевым. Нейросетями он начинал заниматься еще десятилетия назад, работал с ИИ в международных банках и консалтинге, а сейчас возглавляет финансовый сектор в Азии одной из ключевых американских компаний на рынке искусственного интеллекта. Также Максим занимается исследованиями об ИИ-трансформации в Университете Сингапура и объясняет в нашем подкасте, что же отличает азиатскую модель от западной. Типичные ошибки бизнеса он иллюстрирует конкретными примерами: рассказывает, чем искусственный интеллект кардинально отличается от инноваций прошлого и почему может только увеличить переговорную силу сотрудников и потребителей. Спойлер: мы учимся быстрее корпораций. Таймкоды: 2:17 – Стоит ли бояться, что мы создаем Скайнет 3:48 – Пугалки и подготовка к IPO 5:59 – Что помогает Азии опережать старые экономики в сфере искусственного интеллекта 7:21 – Какой же директор рискнет перевести компанию со старых технологий?! 10:03 – Конкуренция регуляторов стимулирует бежать быстрее других в ИИ-гонке 12:47 – У азиатов гораздо более широкий горизонт принятия решений, чем у американцев 15:55 – Два шаблона внедрения ИИ в бизнесе: правильный и неправильный 19:11 – Традиционная оргструктура просто не имеет смысла при внедрении искусственного интеллекта 24:57 – Заинтересованы ли сотрудники в том, чтобы помогать корпорациям внедрять ИИ 26:31 – ИИ-продукты, которые предназначены только для того, чтобы их купили 27:19 – Компании купили ИИ-продукт для повышения офисной производительности сотрудников. Результат – сотрудники стали пить больше кофе 29:01 – У банка не нашлось денег на улучшение платежных систем, но нашлось на ИИ-агента. Итог – рост непрошедших платежей 30:37 – Как ИИ увеличил спам 31:50 – Искусственный интеллект кардинально отличается от всех предыдущих инноваций: от парового двигателя, электричества, интернета, компьютеров и т.д. 32:31 – Должна расти переговорная сила сотрудников и потребителей 32:47 – Как заработать на отсталости корпораций? Конкретные примеры 35:33 – Зачем переплачивать за товар магазину? ИИ-агент может объединить заявки и передать их производителю напрямую 39:24 – Как неумелое использование ИИ увеличивает стоимость кредита 43:05 – Нужно ведь просто проверить работу, уже сделанную ИИ! Но работы меньше не становится. Почему? 47:03 – Три требования к человеку, отвечающему в компании за ИИ-трансформацию 47:25 – 200 человек во всем мире, которые могут грамотно внедрить искусственный интеллект 48:35 – Изучаем неправильное использование ИИ на примере маркетингового агентства 51:19 – Не любую рутину нужно автоматизировать 57:27 – Нет смысла инвестировать в повышение производительности старой бизнес-модели 1:03:47 – Главный вопрос, который не задает бизнес В октябре Российская экономическая школа проведет осеннюю серию Просветительских дней памяти сооснователя РЭШ Гура Офера. В прямом эфире ведущие эксперты обсудят климат и демографию с точки зрения экономики.
