NEU: Die Wirtschaftsministerin persönlich hat der Stiftung Familienunternehmen Lobby-Tipps gegeben. Ihr Ministerium könne das Vorhaben dann "flankieren". Und ihr Staatssekretär hat die Milliardärslobby gebeten, Druck auf die SPD auszuüben. @fragdenstaat.de: fragdenstaat.de/artikel/exkl...

Ahem, the meek European derisking state

Kind of crazy the EU Commission actually beliefs such nonsense! Creating tax incentives to push bank deposits into equities actually *reduces* the capital available to the economy as it shifts money from bank balance sheets (ie corporate lending) to pure speculation.

Für alle Fans kapitalfinanzierter Rente: wenn die marktvariablen Zinsen nicht so hoch sind wie erwartet gibt es schon mal Pilot:innenstreiks. Kann man sich ja überlegen ob man das deutsche Umlagesystem wirklich dahingehend verändern möchte.

🚨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 chapter traces (in @danielagabor.bsky.social's words) the story of "David the De-Risker" – exploring political conditions for why states turn to de-risking. For politicians, de-risking is about leveraging their reach, so we need to understand when this becomes politically attractive. Preprint 👇

In Zeiten knapper Kassen und eskalierender Klimakrise entscheidet sich die Bundesregierung zunächst einmal für €2Mrd. zusätzliche Subventionen für AutofahrerInnen. Jährlich. Kann man sich wirklich nicht ausdenken.

Die zwei klassischen Intermediärsrollen in der Netzwerkforschung – Tertius Iungens und Tertius Gaudens – in einer Person vereint. Soviel zu "Chinese Walls". www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/k...

Es ist 1 Bekenntnis zur Intransparenz politischer Vorgänge, dass Sitzungen der Bundestagsausschüsse — darunter die des Ausschusses für #Forschung — in dieser Legislaturperiode nicht mehr öffentlich tagen.
