🚨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.

Wow... Writing this paper was a bit like watching a soap opera unfold. But it's out now in @bjpir.bsky.social
The big story is still: The ECB marched forward, with clear democratic authorisation, but not the Fed. Green central banking is much more democratic than people think.

Late stage capitalism meets the misguidedness of GDP accounting: when one big chunk of growth is a technology bubble responsible for huge greenhouse gas emissions and another big chunk is cleaning up the mess caused by those emissions
