I am honored and delighted to announce that that Reimagining Capitalism was selected for the FT/McKinsey short list for "business book of the year" today. My thanks to the judges! ft.com/content/e33dfe…

@GeorgeSerafeim @CFAinstitute @HarvardHBS George, how fabulous! Congratulations.

@casparhenderson It is deeply distressing to see someone who has used "freedom of speech" to justify an explosion of climate denial seek to censor the journalists who are calling him out on his censorship of those who criticize his actions. Where is the vision that built Tesla?

‘It’s an honor to get canceled by Musk, who is welcoming neo-Nazis back to Twitter while banning reporters. Still, it’s admittedly terrifying to see him cross the bright red line of declaring outright war against freedom of the press.’ Gil Duran

This is indeed totally heartbreaking.

What does it say about our current moment that this isn’t making headlines? And about the future? apnews.com/article/climat…

I'm late to this party, but I am doing a panel with the author on Tuesday, and so was finally pushed to read "The Ministry for the Future". If you haven't yet had the chance it's quite fabulous. See: rollingstone.com/culture/cultur…

The #NewClimateWar (publicaffairsbooks.com/titles/michael…) is a prebuttal of the latest soft denial-promoting screed. Just substitute "Alex Epstein" for "Bjorn Lomborg" and "Michael Shellenberger"

Hi everyone! I've been taking a bit of a break after a crazy semester. Here's a new podcast with Vesna Lucca and Corporate unplugged -- it's quite a bit more personal than usual -- Vesna pushed me hard to think about what's really important... corporateunplugged.com/rebecca-hender…

I recently recorded a new podcast on "Saving Capitalism from itself". Rather fun, if you have time: uncertain.substack.com/p/capitalism-r…

A nice piece on how mainstream economic thought -- in this case represented by the Nobel Prize Winner Paul Romer -- is increasingly coming to realize that effective government is critical to a healthy economy. (Who knew! Sigh...) nytimes.com/2021/05/20/tec…

Japan is one of the world’s great nations with a fantastic track record of innovation. We need it to lead on #climate: that means @sugawitter @kantei committing to 50% emission cuts by 2030 - cuts in line with science and in line with the new economy. reuters.com/article/us-jap…

What happens when women run the economy? I'm very optimistic... reuters.com/article/us-glo…

There's been some grumbling that this is too little too late, but I read the news that Delta and Coca-Cola have come out against voter suppression as *huge*. nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%…

David Gelles on the silence of the corporations based in Georgia about voting rights in the state... He links voting rights to the fight for racial justice, which sounds exactly right to me: nytimes.com/2021/03/29/bus…

A podcast I recorded recently with Spencer Glendon -- ex Wellington Capital and one of the smartest people I know -- just dropped. Spencer is both brilliant and terrifying. Well worth a listen. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sus…

What happens to economic growth if climate erodes? @HarvardHBS professor @RebeccaReCap and @WoodwellClimate senior fellow Spencer Glendon talk about systemic risk and climate change with @gmukunda. Listen to @Nasdaq’s #WorldReimagined: spr.ly/6017HayWV

Here's a wonderful event I did in the Netherlands -- featuring an amazing young leader -- in three minutes! The essence of reimagining capitalism, if you don't have time for the book.... youtube.com/watch?v=msEITk…
