Muve to the beat. Muve the conversation. Muve mountains. Today @eurosky.social announces mu.social, a new microblogging app to experiment with the future of social! 🪩💖

extra happy these days to be in the complicity-denoucing pensions space

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/

’Something is ripe in the state of Denmark’ 1/ A climate-focused thread 🧵 on the new Danish government programme, listing what I see as key initiatives (and omissions) regarding overall climate policy, mobility and related areas (energy and land use planning). #dkpol #dktrp #dkgreen

🚨New article w/ @savannahcox.bsky.social & @zacjtaylor.bsky.social in @jcultecon.bsky.social🚨 "Inscription networks: finance, infrastructural power, and the governance of climate risk" explores a longstanding player in state-market entanglements -Moody's- as it shapes how climate change is governed.

Does anyone know of a solid 'green company' list? Say of companies that produce green energy (wind, solar etc) & perhaps other central green energy activities (eg storage, grid). I wanna compare pension funds' holding lists with a green company list, but I cant find any good reference list to use

Afstemningerne om danske pensionskassers investeringspolitikker er vigtige. Der er i disse dage afstemninger flere steder, bl.a. i AkademikerPension med forslag om klima og Israel. For at kunne stemme om begge forslag anbefaler jeg at man udfylder en "instruktionsfuldmagt" her: xn--grnpension-1cb.nu

Publication alert! 🔔 My new article in @ripejournal.bsky.social shows that the way in which credit ratings assess climate risks is detrimental to chances of the green transition. www.tandfonline.com/eprint/DEWKJ... 1/n 🧵

The Hungarian election is a relief. But where is the push to strengthen the EU's democracy measures? Changing Art 7 should now be possible. Free, critical journalism should be further ensured. ... And then we can also discuss more radical measures, like economic democracy, economic justice, etc.

Happy Easter from Finance and Society team! Here is our special easter egg for all of you: a fresh Call for Papers for this year's Finance and Society conference happening again at CBS Copenhagen! Deadline: May 1st Hoping to see many of you there!

We are hiring a tenure track (!) senior researcher in political economy! This is obviously a great job (permanent without teaching obligation) and I hope you all apply. However, I would like to take a moment to share just how significant this is in the German academic context ⬇️

Election after election exit polls show that those who consider their economic security as poor vote for the neo-fascist AfD. We need an antifascist economic policy instead of a revival of 90s style neoliberalism. This has become only more urgent in face of the energy crisis.

The economic fallout from the Strait of Hormuz isn't a hypothetical — it's already there. Most people in Europe and the US just can't feel it yet. A threat on our new @newstatesman1913.bsky.social article: what's heading our way, and why the burden won't be shared equally. 1/

Ses vi om lidt til Folkets Klimamarch?

Who stands to profit as energy prices are rising due to the escalating war in the Middle East? NYT and FT quoting our research on the 2022 energy crisis! Spoiler: in the West it's mainly affluent shareholders. High time to dust off the discussions on excess profit taxes & strategic price controls.

Fossil fuel stocks are exploding in response to the war on Iran. Who stands to benefit? The richest of the rich. Who stands to lose? All of us who have to pay higher prices for energy and a new round of sellers' inflation.

🚨CALL FOR ABSTRACTS🚨 We are proud to announce the call for abstracts for our 11th annual conference: FREEDOM. The conference takes place at Copenhagen Business School on October 2-3 2026. Read the full call here 👇 and submit before 1 May 2026 💌 marxistiskestudier.com/2026/03/03/c...

The war on Iran likely brings a new oil price shock and windfall profits. So, who stands to win? Our research shows: Last time around (2022), the US reaped the largest fossil fuel profits of any country ($377bn). 50% went to the top 1%, only 1% to the bottom 50%. A🧵

The first set of postdocs for our ERC project on popular government have just been advertised. These 3 postdocs will be based at UC Louvain with my co-PI Pierre-Etienne Vandamme and focus on contemporary democratic theory. Apply! jobs.uclouvain.be/Personnelsci...

Many thanks to the European Institute at the LSE for inviting me to give a public lecture about stranded assets, who owns them and implications for the low-carbon energy transition! Next Tuesday at 6:30pm London time, at the European Institute at the LSE. Event coordinates in the link below 👇

Fundamentally flawed economic models mean #climatecrisis could crash global economy, experts warn - Shocks from extreme weather disasters and tipping points are entirely missed by the current models used by governments and financial institutions Story by me www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Applications are open for the Finance Summer School 2026. Last two have been at Brown. This one is at LSE thanks to LSE European Institute and Huth Initiative, plus the Berkeley Program on Finance and Democracy. Stellar Line up. Apps open: forms.gle/WsEVk4Yy52Dn...

Spain's constitution promises democracy at work. Last year, @yolandadiaz.bsky.social convened an expert group to study how to make good on that promise. Lead by @isabelleferreras.bsky.social, we have delivered what is, we think, the highest-level 400-page report on economic democracy out there. 1/2

I'm really proud to have been one of the lead authors of Oxfam’s global inequality report this year. And honestly a bit overwhelmed by the impact it’s having this morning. When you’re used to your writing being read by a couple hundred fellow nerds, this is something else.

Så er der et nyt borgerforslag som I alle sammen gerne må gå ind og skrive under på, så vi ikke fortsat skal være en skinkenation der behandler vores mange millioner svin dårligere end hvad loven ellers siger man skal. Tak! www.borgerforslag.dk/se-og-stoet-...

Some professional news: I'm now hiring two postdocs to be part of the research project I'm leading on global republicanism and the making of democratic cultures in the early 19th century. If you know someone for whom this may be relevant, don't hesitate to let them know. www.au.dk/om/stillinge...

Whatever you might think of Maduro, the seizure and kidnapping of a head of state takes us to a very dark place. Vast, arbitrary, extra-legal power, which could be exercised almost anywhere, regardless of the character of the target government.

New paper! How are emissions scenarios 📉 from the IPCC (and other sources) actually used by decision-makers? We asked them, and the results are out just in time for the holidays 🧑‍🎄🤶🧑‍🎄 (with @idasogn.bsky.social & @climansen.bsky.social)

How did ESG go from BlackRock's mainstream opportunity to a political battlefield? Christiansen et al's new commentary maps the anti-ESG backlash: 418 legislative proposals, $12B in divested funds, and the rise of explicitly anti-ESG investment products.

this May, I sat down with the philosopher Michel Feher, an exception interlocutor, to talk about the Wall Street Consensus, for the project Diagrammes www.youtube.com/watch?v=KuNv...

[1/3] Before everyone scatters away on holidays, a reminder to people here interested in the history of climate economics and/or the politics of climate modelling about two ongoing calls for papers. One questions futures, the other is history-oriented, take your pick!

The ancient Greeks had a machine for democracy, the kleroterion, today democracies are dominated by the tech of financial markets. My conversation about capitalism, class analysis, and democratic theory - first published in the Swedish magazine Röda Rummet, now in English at @versobooks.bsky.social

If you're still thinking about what to read over the holiday season – worry not, we've just made your choice even harder! 🎄 Our December issue is out 🎄 Our festive intellectual treats, from the meta-theory of performativity, decarbonization, green finance to the theory of money – check it out!

A lot of writing on renewable energy depicts the industry as "laborless," suggesting that workers in the industry aren't really central to the politics of the "energy transition." My new article in @societyandspace.bsky.social shows how mistaken this view is. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

⚠️ When “technology will save us” becomes a climate risk! A new paper from great colleagues takes a careful look at techno-optimism — the belief that technology will largely solve climate change — and what it means for real-world climate action. (1/4)👇 osf.io/preprints/ps...

HISTORIC WIN IN DENMARK! 🚨 The permit to begin new oil extraction in the North Sea was unlawfully granted! The Danish Energy Complaint Board has just overturned the permission given in 2024 to open new fossil production in DK and the world is now safer with one less oil field 🥳 The victory is ...

🚨You always wondered about how to make sense of the many accounts on Green Finance? We got you covered: @nataschavanderzwan.bsky.social @danmertens.bsky.social ky.social Julius Kob and I critically review existing accounts and argue for an integrated analytical approach👇 doi.org/10.1017/fas....

My new article with @econsocjournal.bsky.social on Gary Becker's analyses on suicide is out! I use Becker's assertion that ‘Most (if not all!) deaths are to some extent suicides’ to reflect on how the late Chicago School framed death and mortality as a choice, thus normalising mortality inequality

Are fossil fuel companies really "part of the solution to the climate crisis" or "essential allies in the energy transition"? CSSN scholars Marcel Llavero-Pasquina and Antonio Bontempi investigate companies' stake in the transition in their new paper below. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Me and a bunch of brilliant colleagues got an op-ed responding to the recent political attacks on Roskilde University in the Danish newspaper Politiken today.

🚨NEW PAPER🚨 We all know the 2022 energy price shock fueled the cost of living crisis. It also caused a profit bonanza for the very rich. We show the US reaped the largest profits ($377bn) of any country. 50% went to the richest 1%, only 1% to the bottom 50%. A🧵 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Hi bsky people - if you care about how the EU seeks to fund all things "social-ecological transformation", which institutional architecture has emerged out of it, and why it is both contested and an unrealized promise: please have a look at our special issue on the politics of sustainable finance 👇
