Episode Synopsis
This bonus content is a reading from Platypus, the CASTAC Blog. The full post by Sakari Mesimäki can be read at https://blog.castac.org/2025/11/renouncing-and-returning-to-shareholder-value/. About the post: Are global environmental problems most likely to be solved through businesses that operate at scale? As Finnish national politics have moved towards austerity measures, progressive causes are gravitating towards entrepreneurial spaces. Exploring how progressive actors are narrating their entrepreneurial aspirations as a way to access resources to address global-scale environmental concerns, this piece explores how new progressive narratives are rehabilitating the concept of shareholder value without any meaningful structural challenges to shareholder primacy.
