Excited about this report I worked on with @MazzucatoM. The financialisation story is not new but updated to the current situation in Europe post-Covid, in which profits and shareholder payouts skyrocketed but wages and productive investment failed to keep pace.
Europe’s largest companies are seeing record profits but low investment.
What do they do with the profits instead? Distribute them to shareholders, borrow to fund more payouts, and hoard earnings to maintain buffers for future distributions.
New policy brief, co-authored with @SamuelFleischm2, @AnnaHopeEmerson, and @LaraMerling, where we look at the social costs of misdirected capital and what to do about it. Link in replies.
NEW: The Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee has aided more than 2,100 organizing campaigns at over 1,500 workplaces since 2020.
A group created to help workers facing emergencies, @organizeworkers has become a national force for worker empowerment.
