Happy to see this published, co-authored together with two former students. In the midst of the pandemic, they managed to collect incredibly interesting interviews with nurses – this material just had to find its way into an academic journal publication:

Sounds very interesting
Finally! For Max Weber, Calivinism was the cultural factor for the dynamics of early capitalism. We (with @timoseidl.bsky.social) have explored the spirit of digital capitalism in the Silicon Valley with a social theory-informed machine learning approach: Technical solutionism instead of democracy.
🚨It's been a long journey, but all the more happy to finally see this out in Theory, Culture & Society:

'The Solutionist Ethic and the Spirit of Digital Capitalism' (with @onachtwey.bsky.social)
