Join us next week for an Agents of Impact call co-hosted by @ImpactAlpha's @davidbank and Confluence's Overview Effect: How can investors manage hashtag#AI risks and share the gains? 💸 As #AI reshapes markets, how risks and returns are shared by corporations, workers, investors and communities is the policy question du jour. Productivity gains, miracle breakthroughs and IPOs promise untold riches. But for whom? ⚠️ Meanwhile, labor displacement, weakening consumer demand and concentrated economic power are creating systemic risks and public mistrust. Safety issues are also top of mind for many. Join Andaris.ai’s Michael Kubzansky, @JustCapital's @MWhittaker_ , Jefferies Group’s Aniket Shah, PhD, and the @PDI_views's Delilah Rothenberg to explore what investors and policymakers can do to mitigate the risks and maximize the benefits for all. Wednesday, Sept. 16 at 11am PT / 2pm ET / 7pm London. RSVP today: lnkd.in/gbGGJSJG

In 1947, Germany's Christian Democrats warned that monopolistic firms could "jeopardize freedom in the state." Their remedies: antitrust, caps on ownership concentration, worker codetermination. Tom Powdrill's short piece on that passage is a useful reminder that predistributive thinking has deep roots across the political spectrum. Nearly 80 years on, the diagnosis reads as prescient. open.substack.com/pub/predis…

A growing chorus of stakeholders is calling for "broad-based ownership" of AI. “What does that mean in practice? And what would move incumbent market powers to share the upside?” asks @Delilah917 of @PDI_views. hubs.li/Q04lQ_qp0

"Roughly four in five survey respondents identified #CostOfLiving as one of their biggest financial hurdles to achieving the #AmericanDream. Three in five cited #HousingPrices, almost half pointed to #Healthcare costs and nearly as many blamed #LowWages." The #affordability crisis is partly a matter of rising prices and partly a matter of incomes eroding and wealth being out of reach for most Americans. h/t @JustCapital thanks for flagging this survey cnbc.com/2026/06/09/american…
