At CUNY event with @nycmayor, economist Gabriel Zucman, who pioneered research on global tax havens, says the idea that increased income taxes on the wealthy leads to outmigration is largely a "myth"

We’ve just posted a governance proposal to the forum for community discussion, and we believe it represents one of the strongest long-term governance alignment signals in DeFi. Here's what it does 🧵




165 years after British and French troops looted and burned China’s Old Summer Palace — once known as the “Garden of All Gardens” — France has passed a new law simplifying the return of cultural artifacts acquired during its colonial era. The Old Summer Palace spanned over 3.5 square kilometres, nearly five times the size of the Forbidden City. It was a groundbreaking masterpiece that, for the first time in Chinese history, blended traditional Chinese garden design with Western architectural elements. Europeans called it the “Versailles of the East” — a breathtaking harmony of pavilions, lakes, bridges, and gardens that housed an unparalleled collection of 5,000 years of Chinese art, jade, porcelain, silk, and priceless treasures. It took around 4,000 men three days to destroy much of it. What survived the flames was looted, and many of those artifacts remain in museums around the world today. Victor Hugo strongly condemned the destruction. In 1861, he wrote: “One day two bandits entered the Summer Palace. One plundered, the other burned… Before history, one of the bandits will be called France and the other England.” He hoped that France would one day return the stolen treasures. As a Chinese, I sincerely welcome this positive step from the French side. Acknowledging and addressing past wrongs can help us build greater understanding and a brighter future together. I also hope this development encourages broader international dialogue on cultural heritage. The British Museum, for example, holds one of the world’s largest collections of Chinese artifacts. It would be wonderful to see more looted relics from that era returned home to their rightful cultural context and to the people they belong to.



« Un jour viendra où la France, délivrée et nettoyée, renverra ce butin à la Chine pillée. » Ce jour, qu’appelait Victor Hugo de ses vœux en 1861, est venu. 🇫🇷Cette loi vient inscrire dans notre droit un cadre clair, cohérent et précis pour la restitution des biens culturels.
