"No question is more thorny for family companies than succession — the risks that handing the keys over to heirs can be a path to mediocrity." @SkollCentre Fellow @BKustin in the @FT on family businesses & why a toolkit for responsible ownership is much needed. ft.com/content/2c71da…

17th floor of the Shard. @IFB_uk and @ERC_UK’s #FamBizConf23 wins on view.

@marcventresca @fstflofscholars I haven’t—hello! I’m finishing my book proposal on this topic after 4+ years of fieldwork. I ❤️Public Culture & IPK … contributes to activities at both while a grad student

@fstflofscholars Noted for @BKustin . Have you two met?

Family-based firms and family networks play such a remarkable role in commerce and politics, yet social reproduction remains peripheral, additional, or supplementary as a concern across most disciplines.

Fantastic to hear from @garyseconomics at today's #WealthManagement conference with the Good Ancestor Movement. Gary founded GarysEconomics, an educational YouTube channel, after quitting his trader job at Citigroup in Canary Wharf in 2008. theguardian.com/business/2022/…

A frosty start to an exciting day here in Oxford - we'll be joining @BKustin & @steph_brobbey from the Good Ancestor Movement, for the inaugural conference on ‘Wealth Management’s New Imperatives’ @OxfordSBS ❄️

@GoldstoneTweets absolutely comma!

I’m having a gentle grammatical disagreement with a colleague. Which is correct in the use of the word “however”? My colleague thinks she’s good at grammar. However, I think I’m better. Or My colleague thinks she’s good at grammar, however I think I’m better. #pedanticlawyers

.@SpearsMagazine is not reading the room. One day after #COP27, they're shilling seats on a semi-private jet service with a £250 coupon, for the start of ski season. There won't be a ski season left. We are in a climate emergency.

Professor @MaryaBesharov, Peter Flavel, CEO of @CouttsandCo, & Dr @BKustin speaking about the new business models for wealth management at today’s @SkollCentre Insights for Action seminar 💡

You hear a lot about the gigification and proletarianization of the academy but I did not know that part-time faculty at the New School, who went on strike today for a fair contract, make up *87 percent* of instructors at the university. hellgatenyc.com/new-school-on-…

This Friday! Anthropological perspectives on private wealth/private banking in an era of wealth inequality

@fowler_lara @jasonhickel This would be a great follow-up piece, to parse that 40%

Loss and damage is a big conversation at COP27. Rich countries are responsible for 90% of the excess emissions that are causing climate breakdown. Social movements in the global South are rightly demanding compensation for the damage this is causing. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@jasonhickel’s most exciting work yet. Quantifying climate justice. Love that you published this in The Lancet, so it can reach a different public. Adding this to the syllabus for Capitalism in Debate here at SBS.

Several private banks have become a @BCorporation or @BCorpUK, and yet w/many people in the UK food insecure & unable to heat their homes, it’s time to consider how wealth management & private banking can change to address these crises. Join me & the CEO of Coutts…

UPDATE—Just learned that Eli Lilly executives are raging and furious at losing $20 billion in market cap from this stunt with @TwitterBlue. It’s too bad they don’t see their own damn insulin price gouging as the actual problem. Karma @LillyPad, karma.

It costs corps like @LillyPad ~$70 to produce a year’s supply of insulin. Yet the avg annual price of insulin went from $2,864 in 2012 to $5,705 in 2016 to $12K in 2022😳 A 17,142% markup isn’t inflation & it isn’t supply chain issues—it is 100% corporate greed. #MakeInsulinFree

Come to think of it, @LillyPad, why isn’t your insulin at-cost? That’s right, because the most lucrative pharma client is the one who doesn’t die, but never gets well. Reduce your obscene insulin profits. #elililly

❤️

Sounds about right…..
