Rethinking currency internationalisation: offshore money creation and the EU’s monetary governance
Internationalisation of the euro has for decades eluded EU policymakers. In this article, we develop a novel explanation of the subordinate position of the single currency. To this end, we build on...

Für Medienschaffende ist der Umgang mit der extremen Rechten zugegebenermaßen nicht immer einfach. Aber ein Lifestyle-Interview mit Chrupalla sprengt jeden journalistischen Rahmen. Hier wird nicht nur eine Plattform geboten, sondern extrem rechte Politik aktiv normalisiert. 🤯

Back in 2020 it wasn't a good career move in the climate space to shit talk Bill Gates' and point out his climate hypocrisy. I was the only person quoted in an article on that issue in a VICE piece.
And that was before we knew of the Epstein connections.
