Michael Bennett is a postdoctoral researcher at Utrecht University, where he is working on how to render business corporations more politically accountable. All of his academic work has been related in one way or another to the relationship between democracy and capitalism.

Huub Brouwer is a postdoctoral researcher at Utrecht University, where he is working on whether political institutions can still function legitimately in the presence of unjust individual wealth distributions. With a background in economics, he works at the intersection of economics and political philosophy, and was the editor of the Erasmus Journal of Philosophy and Economics in 2018-2019. He obtained his PhD, on desert and justice, from Tilburg University in January 2020, and has published in journals such as the Journal of Moral Philosophy, Philosophical Studies and Proceedings of the Aristotelian Society. He has been a visiting researcher at Oxford University, Pompeu Fabra University, and Yale University.
