Me and a bunch of brilliant colleagues got an op-ed responding to the recent political attacks on Roskilde University in the Danish newspaper Politiken today.

🚨NEW PAPER🚨
We all know the 2022 energy price shock fueled the cost of living crisis. It also caused a profit bonanza for the very rich. We show the US reaped the largest profits ($377bn) of any country. 50% went to the richest 1%, only 1% to the bottom 50%. A🧵 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Many congrats, Mathias!

Hi bsky people - if you care about how the EU seeks to fund all things "social-ecological transformation", which institutional architecture has emerged out of it, and why it is both contested and an unrealized promise: please have a look at our special issue on the politics of sustainable finance 👇

New book hitting the shelves today "Climate & Class: How to Keep the Climate Fight from Becoming a Culture War", with @chellersgaard.bsky.social and Andreas Mulvad.

New conference program just dropped!

Go check it out!

This is despite consistent obfuscation, banalization and both-sidesism by German media and politicians.

But it's no surprise - a very large part of the population has long been indifferent or hostile to the political, cultural and media elite's unconditional support for Israel.

🚨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 university has shockingly proclaimed that it "should be primarily for students from Zealand and Denmark, not for Bangladesh or elsewhere". Colleagues, please support us in this difficult time by signing the staff's open letter to the Board of Directors and Rectorate: forms.gle/Z4U6Z6qDePHm...

A new piece on extractive capitalism for @thetls.bsky.social, reviewing 4 new books, including @triofrancos.bsky.social's much-anticipated EXTRACTION and Partha Dasgupta's widely-
praised ON NATURAL CAPITAL

Finance & Society is the gift that keeps on giving!

Just as we've gotten home from our fabulous conference in Copenhagen – huge thanks again to all of you and the organizers! – we're delighted to announce the publication of issue 11(2)! 🎁🎉

173 pages packed with the good stuff – do check it out!

I'm hiring two Post-Doctoral Fellows in International Political Economy/Economic Sociology as part of the ADD project funded by the Velux Foundation. The posts are linked to an AI Sustainability package led by Christina Lioma at KU and me at CBS, drawing insights from comp sci & political economy.

The International Association of Genocide Scholars has passed a resolution stating that Israel’s actions in Gaza meet the legal definition of genocide. Read the resolution here genocidescholars.org/wp-content/u...

Since the start of von der Leyen's second mandate, EU sustainable finance norms face intense dismantling pressures. My new @JEPP article shows this started years ago when the fossil fuel industry “woke up” to the EU Taxonomy. 🧵 #EUTaxonomy #SustainableFinance👇 1/10

Danish friends and comrades, I will be at the Copenhagen Business School tomorrow (Sep. 2 @ 10:30) talking about my latest book on class, finance, and democracy with @versobooks.bsky.social.

The event is open to the public: Porcelænshaven 18b, 2000 Frederiksberg, room 1.18

Looking much forward to this!

1/ My article is out in HOPE and I am excited. In writing the first concept history of WTP I show how early neoclassical econs understood that the amount someone is willing to pay for something often does not reflect how much they value it because rich people have way more money!

I'll spend the next 1½ in Copenhagen and Stockholm. I imagine that I’ll need a simple place for short stays in Stockholm. Do I know anyone who’s been in a similar situation, had a commuter room/apartment or other good arrangements? Do you have any advice, generally, & for finding somewhere to live?

Incredibly instructive reporting on what appears well on its way to becoming the biggest, most concentrated, most energy- and resource-intensive, and most speculative wave of capital investment ever.

Thanks, Bård!

The first planned migration of an entire country due to climate change is happening! Tuvalu, a Pacific island nation, is at risk of being submerged under rising sea level, so it has signed an agreement with Australia to allow 280 Tuvaluans to settle in Australia as permanent residents each year.

Well this is big. Chinese imports of crude oil, liquefied natural gas, and coal have fallen to near zero.

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!
