Even after two world wars and a century of upheaval, wealth in 🇩🇪 shows strong persistence. About 8% of today’s top fortunes trace back to the early 1900s: 82 of the richest families today were already among the richest in 1913, challenging the idea of a fully meritocratic elite.

Today is the official UK publication day for Silicon Empires! I'm excited to have it out and hear what people think.
There's an enormous amount happening every day in AI, and it's difficult to gain a stable perspective. I wrote the book to try and get some secure hold on that constant flux. 🧵

Excited to share this paper because it does something new: We're testing the implicit coordination hypothesis proposed by Weber & Wasner. Analyzing earnings calls, we find that large, economy-wide costs shocks make executives feel very good indeed. Open access:

It’s out! I’m deeply proud and grateful for this book — especially for the chance to collaborate with such brilliant & bold minds.
Here’s to hoping its ideas spark fresh conversations and inspire meaningful change in our field. #economics #eurocentrism #decolonisation
