This is despite consistent obfuscation, banalization and both-sidesism by German media and politicians. But it's no surprise - a very large part of the population has long been indifferent or hostile to the political, cultural and media elite's unconditional support for Israel.

🚨New article🚨 Why has the promise of universal ownership been broken, as @benbraun.bsky.social has suggested? Our argument: because the Big Three are hardly universal. They mainly invest in those that can insulate themselves from environmental harm - big tech & financials in the Global North. 🧵

My university has shockingly proclaimed that it "should be primarily for students from Zealand and Denmark, not for Bangladesh or elsewhere". Colleagues, please support us in this difficult time by signing the staff's open letter to the Board of Directors and Rectorate: forms.gle/Z4U6Z6qDePHm...

A new piece on extractive capitalism for @thetls.bsky.social, reviewing 4 new books, including @triofrancos.bsky.social's much-anticipated EXTRACTION and Partha Dasgupta's widely- praised ON NATURAL CAPITAL

Finance & Society is the gift that keeps on giving! Just as we've gotten home from our fabulous conference in Copenhagen – huge thanks again to all of you and the organizers! – we're delighted to announce the publication of issue 11(2)! 🎁🎉 173 pages packed with the good stuff – do check it out!

I'm hiring two Post-Doctoral Fellows in International Political Economy/Economic Sociology as part of the ADD project funded by the Velux Foundation. The posts are linked to an AI Sustainability package led by Christina Lioma at KU and me at CBS, drawing insights from comp sci & political economy.

The International Association of Genocide Scholars has passed a resolution stating that Israel’s actions in Gaza meet the legal definition of genocide. Read the resolution here genocidescholars.org/wp-content/u...

Since the start of von der Leyen's second mandate, EU sustainable finance norms face intense dismantling pressures. My new @JEPP article shows this started years ago when the fossil fuel industry “woke up” to the EU Taxonomy. 🧵 #EUTaxonomy #SustainableFinance👇 1/10

Danish friends and comrades, I will be at the Copenhagen Business School tomorrow (Sep. 2 @ 10:30) talking about my latest book on class, finance, and democracy with @versobooks.bsky.social. The event is open to the public: Porcelænshaven 18b, 2000 Frederiksberg, room 1.18

Looking much forward to this!

1/ My article is out in HOPE and I am excited. In writing the first concept history of WTP I show how early neoclassical econs understood that the amount someone is willing to pay for something often does not reflect how much they value it because rich people have way more money!

I'll spend the next 1½ in Copenhagen and Stockholm. I imagine that I’ll need a simple place for short stays in Stockholm. Do I know anyone who’s been in a similar situation, had a commuter room/apartment or other good arrangements? Do you have any advice, generally, & for finding somewhere to live?

Incredibly instructive reporting on what appears well on its way to becoming the biggest, most concentrated, most energy- and resource-intensive, and most speculative wave of capital investment ever. ig.ft.com/ai-data-cent...

The first planned migration of an entire country due to climate change is happening! Tuvalu, a Pacific island nation, is at risk of being submerged under rising sea level, so it has signed an agreement with Australia to allow 280 Tuvaluans to settle in Australia as permanent residents each year.

Well this is big. Chinese imports of crude oil, liquefied natural gas, and coal have fallen to near zero. (h/t @billmckibben.bsky.social) www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

What shapes fossil-fuel investment decisions? What are pension funds’ climate considerations? And how does the portfolio risk concept influence these issues? Excited to see my paper "The dark side of diversification: Passive finance and fossil-fuel investment" published in @finandsoc.bsky.social! 🧵

This may be an exaggeration but ... the International Court of Justice has just ruled that continuing the fossil-fuel economy is illegal.

On my way to the SASE conference in Montréal for the first time. Excited to meet people and discuss climate, democracy, finance, etc. Let me know if you're there! Also, striving to reduce my flying. So this'll be my first flight in... 8 years. Airports are such weird places, encapsulating troubles

In the age of asset manager capitalism, do asset owners still matter? And what does this mean for the green transition? @nataschavanderzwan.bsky.social and I investigate this through an in-depth study of how some of the most important asset owners - pension funds - invest. Now out in SER! 🧵

Thrilled and relieved to have received a grant for a 3-year postdoc. The project will examine to what degree Danish pension funds’ climate-related investment policies have been shaped by the funds’ degree of democracy, divestment campaigns, fund characteristics, & prevailing financial structures.

War is not a spectator sport fought for a Western audience, and the war on Iran is no mere “distraction” from Gaza. Instead we must understand the illegal attack on Iran as an extension of the project in Gaza. 🧵

Say goodbye to 1.5°C. But remember, the next target is 1.51°C and not 2°C. We need to keep fighting. Every tonne of CO₂ emitted makes the job of future CO₂ removal harder, and every 0.01°C of temperature increase makes the world more chaotic and dangerous.

BREAKING! Big banks poured a staggering $869 BILLION into fossil fuels in 2024 alone. The new #BankingOnClimateChaos report is out and it's not good. During the hottest year on record, banks increased their financing of coal, oil and gas. Its unconscionable. Read: bankingonclimatechaos.org

New report reveals Maersk’s pivotal role in facilitating F35 strike fighters for Israel, used to commit genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. Meanwhile, a large majority of Danish politicians refuses to ban exports enabling Israel’s genocide. Shame on them! www.maskoffmaersk.com/reports

"What we are doing in Gaza is a war of extermination: indiscriminate, unrestrained, brutal, and criminal killing of civilians,” [former Prime Minister Olmert] said." www.huffpost.com/entry/israel...

Small 🧵 on my chapter, which combines a review of the literature on #assets with a conceptual argument: Assets are boundary objects that facilitate various forms of social relations. We thus need to study their lifecycle from assetization, asset management to deassetization to understand them.

Jeg er sikkert ikke den eneste, der har følt mig magtesløs overfor regeringens passivitet overfor de uhyrlige forbrydelser mod befolkningen i Gaza. Det er en lille ting, men sammen med masse andre har jeg her til morgen skrevet under her for at lægge pres på politikerne oxfam.dk/kampagner/je...

“UN warns 14,000 babies could die in Gaza in next 48 hours without aid.”

Could this be the biggest climate story of the year? For the first time on record, China's emissions are falling due to clean energy growth, not slow power demand Full analysis + outlook by Lauri Myllyvirta: www.carbonbrief.org/... 1/7

if the whole world population had emitted as per the richest 0.1% since 1990, the global temperature increase would have been 12.2C 😲

Opinion from the FT's Editorial Board: 'The US and European countries that tout Israel as an ally that shares their values have issued barely a word of condemnation. They should be ashamed of their silence, and stop enabling Netanyahu to act with impunity.' www.ft.com/content/f5fd...

Hi, if you are interested in social studies of finance, sociology of markets and related subjects...

Among many horrific revelations in new @irena-official.bsky.social data for 2024 renewables investment, most dismal -- and totally unmentioned so far? -- is this: Investment in solar and wind combined *FELL* in Europe. Net capacity adds were 73.8GW in 2023. In 2024, they were 4.5% lower, at 70.5GW.
