Why is WeWork’s disgraced founder still so investable? Read @timwhite100's paper 'The non-death of Adam Neumann: Alt-exiting, serial-founding, and failing up in Silicon Valley venture capital' in @FinandSoc ⤵️

New in @FinandSoc: ‘The non-death of Adam Neumann’, unpacking the return of WeWork’s disgraced founder. It’s about Silicon Valley’s ambivalence to failure & fraud, and how venture capital rewards already-powerful, ruthless and deceptive serial founders. cambridge.org/core/journals/…

Read @timwhite100's latest piece on how venture capital‑driven real estate start‑ups chase aggressive expansion across global housing markets, and the consequences this produces for tenants⬇️

What happens when venture capitalists try to reinvent housing in their own image? Find out in my new @IJURResearch article ‘Hyperscaling Housing’ It traces VC-fuelled attempts to aggressively scale real estate start-ups, and how tenants pay the price shorturl.at/iOYkm

'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: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/PYUTRAPT…

Fifty years ago public investment in local authority housing “peaked in 1974/5 at £2.2 bn — £23.3 bn in 2023/4 prices.” £2 bn for “affordable” housing is a smaller investment than in recent years. Compared to historic levels, it's a *tiny* fraction. ft.com/content/c4a305…
