Reviving Adorno's critique of the standardization of music, our article of the week reads streaming as a turn from Fordist production to financialized platforms where music is assetized and homogenized. By Paul N. Kullick & @johannespetry.bsky.social in @finandsoc.bsky.social buff.ly/yflarfV

Based on our recent article in @finandsoc.bsky.social, we wrote a piece for @theconversation.com titled 'from art to assets' on how music does indeed sound all the same nowadays - and the role of streaming platforms in this process 😎 Check it out! theconversation.com/from-art-for...

The attempt to financialize psychedelics has collided with the unruliness of these substances both as therapeutic assets and as vectors of cultural resistance. Our article of the week traces the rise and fall of commercial psychedelics. By Sandy B. Hager in @finandsoc.bsky.social buff.ly/7QsCdDI

"There is no longer any depth, no longer any subtext either. The entire history of economic life is pushed up to the surface, leaving nothing behind for it to hide. It is this profound superficiality that now rules."

What is the relation between obscenity and the financial? I take up this question in my new piece, inspired by Noam Yuran's recently published book on The Sexual Economy of Capitalism. Both should make for a titillating read!

Highlight - finally seeing @provokedeconomy.bsky.social talk about paranoid finance at this years brilliant @finandsoc.bsky.social conference 🥳

Once again a cery interesting, thought provoking and inspiring Finance and Society conference @finandsoc.bsky.social - looking forward to next year (whereever it's going to be)! Thanks to numerous colleagues for intense discussions and critical questions!

I'm pleased to announce that my essay, When Siri Becomes a Deposit Broker, is now forthcoming in @finandsoc.bsky.social! The most recent version is available here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

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! 🧵

Interesting new article at @finandsoc.bsky.social on “Green De-Financialization”

Programme acceptance emails have gone out for the @finandsoc.bsky.social annual conference in Copenhagen. Hope to see many good colleagues there!

Clickbait Capitalism in paperback! The volume first came out in 2023 and explores some of the cultures of desire then forming around digital technology and finance. Essential reading as the entire global economy now morphs into a gigantic digital mechanism of psychological capture and release.

Thrilled to share that the Cambridge Global Handbook of Financial Infrastructure, co-edited with Malcolm Campbell-Verduyn and Barbara Brandl, has been published! You can find all chapters open access: doi.org/10.1017/9781...

🚨 More bad PR for the dollar. My latest (open access!) paper explores how USD centrality and strength constrains global decarbonization — from emissions to climate financial flows to green tech manufacturing. doi.org/10.1017/fas....

For those in the Edinburgh area, Francesco Sergi and I will present Friday our special section on the "Scientization of Central Banks", soon to be published in @finandsoc.bsky.social Thanks to Nathan Coombs and the SKAPE center for inviting us. More info ➡️ www.skape.ed.ac.uk/events/
