If you want to find out more about how #shareholdercapitalism is blocking the energy transition, a chapter of my book on finance has a lot of detail. If you don't have time to read it all, try an AI summary using Perplexity or Claude, for example

Raising interest rates has NO EFFECT on inflation. Monetary policy in it's current form is not fit for purpose - how long will the charade continue?

Dual interest rates, one-for-one capital requirements rule on fossil lending, and taxes for #shareholders

We show that interest rate hikes by central banks are less powerful in reducing inflation than conventional wisdom suggests. Correcting for publication bias, the output cost of reducing inflation increases. Based on our meta-study of 145,000 point estimates and confidence bounds.

Banking shareholders carry zero risk, are just waiting for their own self-induced financial crisis, and tax people for paying for the privilege of eventually bailing them out

Finally, someone gets it. Banks screw everyone, period. Tax them, and you have won; link those taxes to fossil fuels and you have probably averted the next financial crisis and enabled a fully-fledged energy transition, all in one go

Third time lucky: Meloni seeks compromise on bank tax after past failures
This time, Rome appears to have learned its lesson, and is planning to engage more proactively with Italy’s banks, which are open to compromise.

Ajay Banga, new president of the World Bank, is obviously much better than David Malpass (useless). But the World Bank has limited resources
In some ways, it's about #shareholdercapitalism and the self-defeating process that for example even EU central banking is getting trapped in..

This is the same in many countries where #shareholdercapitalism has a hold on politics and #monetarypolicy; protecting the #carbonbubble is most of what the ECB do - although there has been recent reform and things are moving in the correct direction

Why are shareholders responsible for the climate crisis?
Because they are the ones who profit
This is mostly a western thing, but for NOCs (national oil companies) such as Aramco or Sinopec, they are making significant, massive investments in hydrogen
Not so in the #shareholdercapitalism economy

Shareholders and the financial structures that facilitate their profit-making are the cause of our western malaise. #Shareholdercapitalism is what is currently hollowing out the US, wholesale. However, state capitalism or stakeholder capitalism remains elusive

These things will happen, because it is so absolutely obvious that the alternatives are cheaper, healthier and are cognisant of our ecological horizon limits
The problem is #shareholdercapitalism / #neoliberalism: the true depravity of the western system
