Iโm very pleased to share that my book ๐ถ๐๐๐๐ข๐๐๐ก๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ธ๐กโ๐๐๐ 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. ๐งต
Happy readingโand I would be grateful if you considered recommending it to your institutionโs 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 fรผr die Studierenden eine Liste mit nรผtzlichen Tools erstellt:
Bei jungen Menschen zwischen 18-30 gibt es in diversen Lรคndern seit einigen Jahren anscheinend eine immer grรถรere Kluft zwischen Mรคnnern & Frauen in Sachen politischer Einstellung. Mรคnner werden deutlich konservativer, Frauen progressiver. www.ft.com/content/29fd...
