New in @finandsoc.bsky.social: ‘The non-death of Adam Neumann’, unpacking the return of WeWork’s disgraced founder. It’s about Silicon Valley’s ambivalence to failure & fraud, and how venture capital rewards already-powerful, ruthless and deceptive serial founders. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

How has founder control shaped consolidated power in major US tech firms? In a new SER article, @davvkamp.bsky.social examines how venture capital shifted toward a winners-take-all model after 2010, enabling founders to retain disproportionate control and influence academic.oup.com/ser/advance-...

How do tech founder-CEOs such as Zuckerberg and Musk stay in control of tech monopolies? @davvkamp.bsky.social argues that venture capital follows a winners-take-all logic in which founder control became crucial post-2010, helping to explain the concentration of power in US Tech.

Vital new paper from @davvkamp.bsky.social on the political economy of venture capital!

Pleased to share my new paper in Socio-Economic Review on the political economy of venture capital. It argues that VC follows a winners-take-all logic in which founder control became crucial post-2010, helping to explain the concentration of power in US Tech academic.oup.com/ser/advance-...

Recommended reading and timely, too, as the British Chancellor continues to falsely assume that pandering to financial fractions in the City will result in the investment which is so desperately needed across economy and society www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Gaza is now officially in IPC Phase 5, the final stage of hunger. Designated as 'catastrophe'. A further 67 of the starving were killed by IDF soldiers yesterday trying to access food. Witnesses say the victims had their hands held in the air. One day, everyone will have always been against this.
