Yes it is, and I because economics is political, I would appreciate putting an adjective describing the politics of the specific economists who are cited. If I cited a Hayek, as an "economist" it would be incredibly dishonest as h

This is basically a prisoner dilemma on a global scale where the incentives are for single marginalised nations to leverage the fact of being tax havens to survive globalisation. The dream of a single global tax is as possible as making Chi

I would not cite Piketty, Zucman or Saez who are the hardest fighters of the wealth inequality thesis as they usually mix political advocacy and have been criticized in their methodology and have been under a fair share of controversies. Bt

Counter-example: All the European, and world countries who have implemented the various inheritance, wealth taxes and heavy redistribution yet the inequality is still widening. Take France, Norway or Sweden as the ideal social democracies.

All EU nations have programs to safeguard cultural artifacts and the UK had trainings as late as the 80s or 90s I think. As for your first point, the nations set to safeguard their treasures, doesn't mean they weren't at a total w

My recommendation is to start researching V2Ray and XRay protocols and translate Chinese made tutorials. This seems to be the only protocol (under the xtls-vision-rpx) that works in GFW countries like Iran, Russia and China. Buy for a month

I think the issue with CoC is that they have been used in the past by politically motivated (notably on the left) activists to take control of a project and ensure a political line. You may agree with such a political line like anti-fascism
