Iβm very pleased to share that my book πΆππππ’πππ‘ππ£π πΈπ‘βπππ has been published in the RIPE Series in Global Political Economy by @routledgebooks.bsky.social. It examines impact bonds as a form of ethical finance and has been many years in the making, so it is wonderful to finally see it in print. π§΅
Happy readingβand I would be grateful if you considered recommending it to your institutionβs library.
The book interrogates this logic and the political issues that arise when 'facts' become the organising principle of investing and governing.
In these arrangements, ethical investing shifts away from affective 'feel-good' narratives towards what I describe as a fact-centred and aspirational form of ethical finance.
It argues that impact finance gives rise to a calculative mode of reasoning that combines finance, experimental methods (such as RCTs), and performance management in a results-oriented structure aimed at maximising both social and financial outcomes.
In a nutshell, the book explores how impact bonds link financial returns to measurable social outcomes, and how this 'fact-centred' approach is reshaping ethical investing, public service commissioning, and development finance.

Excited to share our new article, "Curating reflexivity: industry events and the performative politics of alternative finance", in NPE, co-authored with @lenarethel.bsky.social & @kremers.bsky.social. We explore how dissent at industry events stabilises alternative finance.

Ich unterrichte grad an der ZHDK zum Thema #GenerativeAI und hab fΓΌr die Studierenden eine Liste mit nΓΌtzlichen Tools erstellt:
Grafik: In the US, Gallup data shows that after decades where the sexes were each spread roughly equally across liberal and conservative world views, women aged 18 to 30 are now 30 percentage points more liberal than their male contemporaries. That gap took just six years to open up. Germany also now shows a 30-point gap between increasingly conservative young men and progressive female contemporaries, and in the UK the gap is 25 points. In Poland last year, almost half of men aged 18-21 backed the hard-right Confederation party, compared to just a sixth of young women of the same age.
Bei jungen Menschen zwischen 18-30 gibt es in diversen LΓ€ndern seit einigen Jahren anscheinend eine immer grΓΆΓere Kluft zwischen MΓ€nnern & Frauen in Sachen politischer Einstellung. MΓ€nner werden deutlich konservativer, Frauen progressiver. www.ft.com/content/29fd...
