Wir können die Alternative zum status quo nicht länger den Rechtsextremen überlassen. Deshalb habe ich Antifaschistische Wirtschaftspolitik geschrieben. Aber es braucht nicht nur ein Buch sondern ein breites Bündnis. Deshalb präsentiere ich im Gespräch! Link im Kommentar.

I posted a thing on LinkedIn, and I really mean it. Very excited for this step and my biggest of thanks to each and everyone of you who has helped me along the way 🙏🙏

I have spent far too much of the past year listening to UK far right anti-climate debates on YouTube & podcasts as I finish book writing & feel increasingly convinced that in this context 'populism' frameworks occlude more than they help re. their strategies, discourse & why it is successful

Very pleased to announce the programme for this year's @finandsoc.bsky.social conference. We'll be talking everything from prediction markets and offshore finance to acid capitalism and the assetization of horses. Come join us in Copenhagen if you can! financeandsocietynetwork.org/finandsoc-co...

The fact that “climate change” is at 1% the same week wildfires, heatwaves and drought are together at 50% says all you need to know.

What news story do Britons say they heard the most about last week? (fieldwork 16-17 Aug 2026) 1. Wildfires: 37% 2. Weather/heatwave: 12% 3. Jason Arday: 8% 4. Immigration: 6% 5. Clacton by-election: 5% yougov.com/en-gb/articl...

Taking a rare jaunt to this place to share what could be my fave recent paper: @agutersandu.bsky.social's "Off the books, onto the bills: levy-backed derisking & the UK’s green transition". A must read for fans of [research on] derisking, distrib politics, depoliticisation doi.org/10.1080/0969...

It’s been brought to my attention that the Economist cover story is blaming Gen-Z socialism on “an influential group of socialist academics” led by @isabellamweber.bsky.social. Turns out Gen-Z got radicalized by … our analysis of corporate earnings calls. Huge if true!

If I were an action hero, this is what I’d say to the bad guy before the kill shot.

"Epistemic derisking" describes how knowledge infrastructures – such as energy models, scenarios, and plans – are leveraged by states in efforts to mobilize private capital for energy transitions. New article with @rosiecollington.bsky.social: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

New paper in @internatltheory.bsky.social! In 2020-23, nearly every major financial company worldwide was pledging to reach net zero. By 2024-25, many bailed as political backlash ramped up. Why were net-zero norms so weak? In the paper, I argue that companies were caught in a "hype cycle"

Hilarious how for years serious people have said that you can't rely on renewables because they are prone to disruptions in supply www.ft.com/content/19f1...

Profiteering is not a bug but a feature of wars. TotalEnergies took “advantage of the wartime disruption to make a bumper profit” of more than USD 1 billion. The right response to this war is to end the war, cut off windfall profit opportunities and stabilize prices. www.ft.com/content/eba8...

Government must deliver for working people—and every dollar in our budget should work as hard as they do. That’s why I directed every agency to cut waste and help close our budget gap. Here’s some of what we found.

Tomorrow I'm heading midwest for @isanet.bsky.social, where I'll be presenting initial findings from my project with @lenseabrooke.bsky.social on market data infrastructures, environmental & social risk & the brave new world of development finance (beyond derisking as we know it!)
