Voter Behaviour

Tall Patriachs

Every president elect of the United States has been taller than their runner-up. The CEOs of most furtune 500 companies stand above 6ft tall. In every survey on romantic and sexual preferences, women say they prefer tall men. Physical height in men is a strong predictor of success. But why? And on election day, do our superficial weaknesses for physical attributes come at the cost of meritocracy?

Economics

Economic democracy is the corner stone of socialism. From it’s inception in Das Kapital (Marx, 1867) to modern day cooperatives and worker unions, the idea of institutionalising democratic rule and collective ownership over production means has always stood as the foundational principle. However, contemporary market incentives may be pinning ideological allies against each other in vying to supply the same demand.
