It’s been brought to my attention that the Economist cover story is blaming Gen-Z socialism on “an influential group of socialist academics” led by @isabellamweber.bsky.social. Turns out Gen-Z got radicalized by … our analysis of corporate earnings calls. Huge if true!
Quote from the article: “An influential group of socialist academics provides the intellectual ballast for these views. The work of Isabella Weber of the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, suggests that businesses' pricing power means that the modern economy serves executives and shareholders better than it does ordinary people. In a paper last year Ms Weber and her colleagues analysed companies' earnings calls, finding that many firms took advantage of inflation to
"protect or even increase profits".”

“I graduated with £42,000 of debt and even though I’m paying it off, it’s now £72,000.” It's truly an abomination: On a normal job you keep paying forever. 40 years! “Why would I trust a government that mis-sold me a loan when I was a child?” is a very good question. www.ft.com/content/7bf5...

The broader point: Instead of trying to equate & group together the financial materialities that ecological degradation poses to “civilization,” the economy, financial actors, and financial stability, let's empirically contrast and geographically situate them – including along class lines.

Mapping these along the palm oil supply chain shows that the Big Three are mainly invested in the downstream players (Unilever etc.) whereas “Fama’s quasi-laboratory” in the upstream criminal plantations. Unilever will likely be fine, so let's not put our hopes on the promise of universal ownership.

We screen their portfolios against a civil society dataset (Profundo 2024) that lists 6,770 companies publicly excluded by other financial institutions for ESG reasons. We focus on investments in those excluded for all ESG reasons, environmental, biodiversity, deforestation, and palm oil in SE Asia.
