Ten years after the great financial crash, this book synthesises the historical developments and introduces a proposal aimed at rebalancing the economy and society at large.

Book excerpt: Janert Tavakoli, a world renowned expert in derivatives and financial securities, resumes her chronicle of the ongoing global financial crisis beginning where her previous book, Dear Mr. Buffett ended. She exposes the criminogenic environment that enabled international oligarchs to solidify power from the September 2008 financial crisis through February 2012. Tavakoli serves up example after stunning international example of no-strings-attached socialization of losses and privatization of gains. In the words of Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur: "I believe most of us would call that theft."

This book was released on 2020-01-14 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An absorbing, novelistic, and powerfully affecting work of history and investigative journalism that tracks the unraveling of American democracy. In American Oligarchs, award-winning investigative journalist Andrea Bernstein tells the story of the Trump and Kushner families like never before. Building on her landmark reporting for the acclaimed podcast Trump, Inc. and The New Yorker, Bernstein brings to light new information about the families’ arrival as immigrants to America, their paths to success, and the business and personal lives of the president and his closest family members. Drawing on hundreds of interviews and more than one hundred thousand pages of documents, American Oligarchs details how the Trump and Kushner dynasties encouraged and profited from a system of corruption, dark money, and influence trading, and reveals the historical turning points and decisions?on taxation, regulation, white-collar crime, and campaign finance laws?that have brought us to where we are today. A new afterword examines how the two families’ transactional politics left America particularly vulnerable to the crises of 2020.

Book excerpt: Capitalism as Oligarchy is an essay on wealth inequality that offers a simple lens by which to better understand our social world. It argues that the concept of 'capitalism' is an intellectual dead-end for it imposes unneeded complexity, wrongly insists on being new and thereby falsely severs links with the past, and functions as a cloak that hides the core hostility that's the essence of power. We gain a great deal of insight when we come to recognize the system not as capitalism but as inequality itself. Inequality-oligarchy-is a 5,000 year structure of concentrated minority power which operates according to its own oppressive logic. The book explains at an abstract level how it plays out in the modern world, examining such areas as finance, the market portfolio, profit, profit margins, competition, investment, money, taxation, public debt, trade, speculation, governance, and the ideologies of capitalism and individualism. Inequality isn't a side-effect of a wider system, an 'economic' means to allocate resources, a harmless reward for merit, or a sterile statistic. It's the core of what the system is and the root cause of our great social problems-war, poverty, insecurity, racism, environmental degradation, crime, exploitation, political corruption, fraud, and the lack of essential freedom. Understanding capitalism as oligarchy is a vital step toward achieving a better world. Jim O'Reilly is retired from a career in finance. He has an MA in Global Political Economy from the University of Sussex and lives in Boulder, Colorado.

Book excerpt: In spite of its key role in creating the ruinous financial crisis of 2008, the American banking industry has grown bigger, more profitable, and more resistant to regulation than ever. Anchored by six megabanks whose assets amount to more than 60 percent of the country’s gross domestic product, this oligarchy proved it could first hold the global economy hostage and then use its political muscle to fight off meaningful reform. 13 Bankers brilliantly charts the rise to power of the financial sector and forcefully argues that we must break up the big banks if we want to avoid future financial catastrophes. Updated, with additional analysis of the government’s recent attempt to reform the banking industry, this is a timely and expert account of our troubled political economy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries, oligarchs were viewed as empowered by wealth, an idea muddled by elite theory early in the twentieth century. The common thread for oligarchs across history is that wealth defines them, empowers them and inherently exposes them to threats. The existential motive of all oligarchs is wealth defense. How they respond varies with the threats they confront, including how directly involved they are in supplying the coercion underlying all property claims and whether they act separately or collectively. These variations yield four types of oligarchy: warring, ruling, sultanistic and civil. Moreover, the rule of law problem in many societies is a matter of taming oligarchs. Cases studied in this book include the United States, ancient Athens and Rome, Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore, medieval Venice and Siena, mafia commissions in the United States and Italy, feuding Appalachian families and early chiefs cum oligarchs dating from 2300 BCE.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book analyzes concentrations of wealth and power in developed democracies. It shows that economic measures, which states adopted during the 1980s and 1990s, had evolved first into liberal oligarchy, and later, after the 2007-2008 global financial crisis, into illiberal and populist oligarchy. The shape and content of these two kinds of oligarchy have been determined largely because of practices and political strategies that powerful state and market actors employed. This project will appeal to a wide audience including academics, researchers, students, and anyone who is interested in oligarchy political power, IR, political economy, and sociology.

Book excerpt: Why American founding father John Adams feared the political power of the rich—and how his ideas illuminate today's debates about inequality and its consequences Long before the "one percent" became a protest slogan, American founding father John Adams feared the power of a class he called simply "the few"—the wellborn, the beautiful, and especially the rich. In John Adams and the Fear of American Oligarchy, Luke Mayville explores Adams’s deep concern with the way in which inequality threatens to corrode democracy and empower a small elite. Adams believed that wealth is politically powerful not merely because money buys influence, but also because citizens admire and even identify with the rich. Mayville explores Adams’s theory of wealth and power in the context of his broader concern about social and economic disparities—reflections that promise to illuminate contemporary debates about inequality and its political consequences. He also examines Adams’s ideas about how oligarchy might be countered. A compelling work of intellectual history, John Adams and the Fear of American Oligarchy has important lessons for today’s world.

Book excerpt: This was supposed to be the era when democracy came into its own, but instead power and wealth in Britain have slowly been consolidated the hands of a small elite, while the rest of the country struggles financially and switches off politically. We are now ruled by a gang of fat-cats with fingers in every pie who squabble for power among themselves while growing richer. Bored with watching corrupt politicians jockeying for power, ordinary Britons are feeling disconnected from politics and increasingly cynical about the back-scratching relationship between politicians and big business. The New Fewshows us what has led to this point, and asks the critical questions: whyhas Britain become a more unequal society over the past thirty years? Whyhave the banks been bailed out with taxpayers' money, while bankers are still receiving huge bonuses? Why have those responsible not been held accountable for the financial crash? Why has power in Britain become so concentrated in the hands of corrupt politicians who have been exposed cheating their constituents in the expenses scandal? Despite this bleak diagnosis, there are solutions to the rise of the new ruling class in the modern West. The New Few sets out some of the ways in which we can restore our democracy, bringing back real accountability to British business and fairness to our society.

Book excerpt: The rise of the super-rich in the United States during the last thirty years has rekindled concerns about oligarchic political influences. Following recent theoretical work by Winters (2011), we conceptualize oligarchy as a defense against threats to income accumulation by the super-rich. We focus on two threats: taxes and financial regulations. In addition, we consider the potential role of countervailing power resources: Democratic Congressional power and unions. Using annual multiple time-series data covering 1918 through 2012 and Vector Autoregression (VAR) analysis, we find that the pre-tax income of the top 0.1% decreases in response to shocks in capital gains tax rates and marginal income tax rates, but not estate tax rates. Financial deregulation, the loss of Democratic seat share in Congress, and declines in labor union membership have likewise enhanced the income share of the top 0.1%. While tax rates on regular incomes and capital gains do not respond to the power of oligarchs, estate tax cuts, financial deregulation, and declines in Democratic seats in Congress accelerate following a windfall for the top 0.1%. Overall, the results imply that as oligarchs get richer, they minimize income and wealth loss due to the estate tax while enhancing their ability to extract rents in financial markets. But at the same time, the power resources of labor and society have important impacts on oligarchic incomes and top tax rates.
