Second paper from our #assetstruggles SI now online: @hadoose.bsky.social makes the crucial point that asset struggles over climate governance not only include climate vulnerable & climate forcing assets – but that climate policy itself often takes an asset form, reconfiguring power. Check it out!

The first paper of my dissertation is published now in @sociologyjnl.bsky.social! Press coverage of the richest Germans is rare but focused on a minority of highly visible individuals and varies along the historical origins of fortunes. doi.org/10.1177/00380385261428292

🚘 Why is the German EV transition so slow? One reason: The industry tries to squeeze maximum profits out of old technology. 🔎 I show that incumbents use their business power to push for policies allowing for such profit squeezes. It, however, is not always successful. doi.org/10.1177/1024...

(5) How does Industry 4.0 Inc. relate to the former Germany Inc.? While in Germany Inc., industrial firms were fully embedded as both acquirers and targets in cross-shareholdings, Industry 4.0 Inc. emanates from industrial firms’ role solely as investors. The result are indirect intersections.

Große Vermögen sind in Deutschland oft in familiären Netzwerken gegen Verluste abgesichert, zeigt die Forschung von @dariatisch.bsky.social und @emmaischinsky.bsky.social Etwa 8% der größten Vermögen von heute können direkt auf eine Reichenliste von 1913 zurückgeführt werden. s.gwdg.de/xO5JaW
Große Vermögen sind in Deutschland oft in familiären Netzwerken gegen Verluste abgesichert. Wirtschaftssoziologinnen Daria Tisch und Emma Ischinsky haben das Vermögen der reichsten 0,01 Prozent der Bevölkerung untersucht. Ihre Analysen zeigen, dass Weltkriegen, Revolutionen, Wirtschaftskrisen und Währungsreformen zum Trotz ein Teil der Spitzenvermögen in Deutschland erstaunlich beständig ist. Große Vermögen gehören oft zu familiären Netzwerken und sind so gegen Verlust recht gut abgesichert.

Back in the good old days of Twitter, the European Copyright Directive of 2019 (EUCD) was a hot topic. Some users thought it would stifle free speech, while others believed it would stop Big Tech from exploiting artists. How did platforms shape this debate and why were they (un)successful? 🧵
