We live in a funny world - this little book is now apparently "out", though I haven't seen physical copies or so. Instead, I was alerted by a Mastodon bot written by a colleague that notices new publications by our faculty members.
Well, there it is :)

A very different type of publication - thanks to De Jonge Akademie: a "lespakket" about markets and morals (think: Satz, Sandel, etc.), for 10-14 year old kids, with power points, thought experiment set up, and all. Available here: kidlab.nl/wp-content/u...

“...when a strategy fails, those at the top ...blame it on implementation lower down: “If only you dumbbells appreciated the brilliance of the strategy we formulated…” Well, those dumbbells ...might well respond: “If you’re so smart, why didn’t you take into account the fact that we are dumbbells?”

‘Als we onze economieën niet hervormen, verliezen we de democratie’, waarschuwt filosoof Lisa Herzog
Democratie en kapitalisme waren het powerkoppel van het Westen. Maar de klad zit in het huwelijk, betoogt politiek filosoof Lisa Herzog, en als we niet oppassen delft de democratie het onderspit.
