I’m thrilled to receive the 2025 Socio-Economic Review best paper prize!

In the paper, I argue that interest coalitions can shield corporate governance institutions from the excessive influence of global asset managers.

Are you also still baffled by Trump's inauguration 🇺🇸, wondering what he will do next, how successful his policies will be and (frankly) why he is even there?

Our new book "Understanding Political Economy: Capitalism, Democracy and Inequality", released today, can help with that! (Link below)
