How to make sense of China’s rise? For Phenomenal World I wrote something on its changing role in global finance.

Some weeks ago, I was on a roundtable organised by the Dutch China Knowledge Network with Kathleen Tyson & Paolo Balmas on the potential for de-dollarisation (also featured in Paul Buitink's Reinvent Money podcast) - I'm rather sceptical 😉
Great to see this online 🙂

Beyond mere rhetorics about neoliberalism vs state capitalism, we illustrate significant empirical variation in how financial systems are structured by comparing the US, UK and BRICS across the domestic, transnational and international level 2/

stock markets should not be equated with neoliberalism / shareholder value / power of institutional investors 😉

We're collecting ownership data of 4000+ companies to assess varieties of capital markets globally.
