Looking at the history of financial capitalism and environmental crisis. Postdoc @humboldtuni.bsky.social @sfb294.bsky.social

Pleased to see my article "Prudently Heating the Planet: Tracing the Legal Logic Bolstering Fossil-Fuel Investments" published in @mihjournal.bsky.social. In short, it explores the relationship between financial law, Chicago school theory, and continued fossil-fuel investments. 1/

I’m advertising a student position to help with my project on the history of financialisation in postwar West Germany and France. It will mainly involve archival work and literature reviews. I’d really appreciate it if you could share it amongst your networks! www.hu-berlin.de/universitaet...
