What does de-risked decarbonization mean for state capacity across sectors? I am THRILLED that this article is now out in @ripejournal.bsky.social! 🔓 Current climate finance regimes lock in lopsided transitions - states need resources for unbankable transitions. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Thanks for having us @feps-europe.eu and for the opportunity to share our work on #IntergenerationalFairness

@glgerstle.bsky.social: "How do we generate enthusiasm for a market-shaping popular politics?" It was a thrill to discuss #BeyondNeoliberalism with @ranaforoohar.bsky.social to launch our conference beyond-neoliberalism.org

Framing climate policy as a finance issue obscures the real stakes. We need to refocus debates on mobilizing real resources, challenging economic orthodoxies, and building a more just financial system. My latest for @the-breakdown.bsky.social www.break-down.org/post/real-co...

Germany is facing its deepest economic and democratic crisis in decades. Real wages are down, the far right is rising—and the new government has no plan that speaks to the scale of the challenge. A thread 🧵

#Competitiveness is top of the EU agenda. But how to join the conversation without moving attention away from other long-term economic, social, and environmental goals? We developed 7 research-based framing recommendations:

Wall Street won’t rewild the planet. Or decarbonize mining. Or defossilize agriculture. For @phenomenalworld.bsky.social I unpack why chasing investability harms climate goals in sectors beyond energy & transport - & what states can do with derisking failures www.phenomenalworld.org/analysis/unb...

If Germany is not borrowing to be a global leader in the fight against climate change, who will? The 0.2 percent of GDP (Euro 10 billion per year) over the next 10 years that the incoming government has designated to climate in terms of deficit spending is not enough.

On European Day of Solidarity between Generations, Gro Harlem Brundtland, Mary Robinson and Denis Mukwege met Commissioner Glenn Micallef to highlight the need for strong moral leadership that puts Europe’s youth and future generations at the heart of decision-making.

We were invited by @bigissue.com to reflect the election outcome in #Germany The incoming Grand Coalition, or 'GroKo' needs to halt the decline in living standards. Fail to do so and far-right populists will continue to capitalise on economic decline and disillusionment Our take 👇

For the first time since WWII, an extreme right party came 2nd in German national elections. Their rise was fueled by austerity and free market economics. To defeat the far right, we must adopt an anti-fascist economic policy that provides an alternative to the status quo.

With the CID & Energy Action Plan, the EU wants to support energy intensive industries. Support is needed - but it's crucial that any national subsidies to lower electricity prices don't result in inefficient distortions that end up harming competitiveness and climate. Short🧵 on a new joint OpEd:

Gary Gerstle and I are pleased to announce an upcoming international gathering of scholars, thinkers & policymakers to envision a political economy of a post-neoliberal world: beyond-neoliberalism.org Further details coming in January. Thanks to the Hewlett Foundation for its support!
