Tag yourself. I'm a coalition based, green industrial policy ecosocialist, rooting for high integration democracy, green growth everywhere with surgical degrowth, defending international solidarity, a mostly optimistic we-have-the-technology-we-need approach and a dynamic understanding of history.

In our new Ecological Economics paper (with @mathiaslarsen.bsky.social), we map where green growth and degrowth diverge — and where they converge — across politics, world order, and technology.

"BYD’s ascent thus forces a question that goes beyond industry: Can Europe still make things at scale in a world where power lies in the ability to integrate finance, technology, and policy faster than anyone else?"- @cornelban.bsky.social's new #geoeconomics substack (substack.com/home/post/p-...)

What happens when transformative innovation policy meets organizational realities? Organization theory can help address some key gaps of scholarship on transformative innovation policy while opening new directions for policymaking and research in this area.
