Pleased to share my new paper in Socio-Economic Review on the political economy of venture capital. It argues that VC follows a winners-take-all logic in which founder control became crucial post-2010, helping explain the concentration of power in US Tech https://t.co/V76fMFFsuB

How do tech founder-CEOs such as Zuckerberg and Musk stay in control of tech monopolies? @davvkamp argues that venture capital follows a winners-take-all logic, with founder control crucial post-2010, explaining the concentration of power in US Tech.

Is it too late to do anything about the climate crisis?

Drawing on Jens Beckert’s "How We Sold Our Future" and Andreas Malm & Wim Carton’s "Overshoot", @davvkamp's @BJSociology review says no, but the real question is how we pursue radical transition.

'Is it really too late already to do anything about climate change?' My review essay published in @BJSociology argues that the answer is 'No!', but more importantly: the real question is how to make a radical transition possible: https://t.co/Kr0gogx3GU

Wenn 2/3 Arbeit und 1/3 Rente „nicht gut gehen“, fragt sich: Wessen Bilanz geht da nicht auf? Die der Menschen - oder die der Profiteure? Ein Land mit Reichtum auf dem Konto der Wenigen, aber Arbeit auf dem Rücken der Vielen, hat ein Verteilungsproblem - kein Faulheitsproblem.

The German establishment position now is that Israel’s actions are wrong, but so is protesting against them.

How was Isr. able to starve 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza at unprecedented speed and intensity?

I answer this question in my new report. I'll be discussing my report with the @UN General Assembly on Friday, October 18.

An IDF commander is asked, "How do you identify who is a terrorist?"

His answer, "We attacked on the side of the street to drive civilians away, and whoever did not flee, even if he was unarmed, as far as we were concerned, was a terrorist"

lol fascinating use case: “ The solid numbers suggest that Meta (unlike everyone else) has found a use for AI: its efforts to sell more targeted ads are paying off.”

A glimpse into the horror that is Gaza. Actual soldiers testifying to the Israeli military's kill-whatever-moves policy in Gaza, greenlighted by countries like Germany providing both military and symbolic support. @OrenZiv_ @972mag - outstanding journalism

Israel is also fighting a war against journalists to allow the IDF to operate in silence and in the dark

More than 100 journalists have been killed even when drones could clearly identify them as PRESS

An extensive four months investigation here 👇
