So far this is what I think he is saying: Slow growth with increased capital accumulation over labor contributes to inequality only if there isn’t reinvestment back into the economy, which is then shared and distributed into a fairer capital/labor split.

Junior Theorists Symposium – August 15, 2014 – Save the Date! Using examples from Russia and other former Soviet states it argues that economic hybridity is unstable and that it has a potentially negative affect on political stability generally. Furthermore, about any top 10 list on richest people/families. Here’s a summary of recent research on the topic[4]: A recent Urban Institute report finds that the racial wealth gap — measured as the difference in wealth accumulated by white Americans and black and Latino Americans — is the largest it has ever been since the Federal Reserve started tracking it.

Patrimonial capitalism here means that the economic elite mostly attain their fortunes through inheritance rather than entrepreneurship or innovation. No. This oped was originally published by OtherWords.org. Policy inaction to reduce inequality, such as allowing the minimum wage to lag and diminished investment in higher education, undermine workers of all colors. Patrimonial capitalism here means that the economic elite mostly attain their fortunes through inheritance rather than entrepreneurship or innovation. The concept that certain people are seen as “property” now applies to low income communities, immigrants, and minorities who work for low wages ,often for the top 1%,who could pay them more. A future governed by a hereditary aristocracy composed of the progeny of today’s billionaires. [1] I’m not sure we’ve yet come to any consensus on what it all means. But let’s stop for a moment and ask what happens if the US turns into society increasingly dominated by inherited wealth. Homeownership still stands as the most significant asset for low- and middle-income families.

My point, which might have been a bit poorly worded, was that the superrich/ 1% / patrimonial elite are going to be almost entirely white, not that poverty is going to be exclusively black. Not all white families of course, but the racial wealth gap is one of the staggering facts of contemporary inequality. Assets are a more durable measure of inequality than income, providing a buffer against economic downturns, both personal and societal. Its form raises questions about longer-term stability because it constrains development, and because it creates patterns of intra-elite relations that … Or put in another way–the division is the technocrats on top and those who serve them on the bottom. One of Piketty’s central arguments is that we are seeing the return of the “patrimonial capitalism” that dominated for most of the last 200 years. Posted by Dan Hirschman on April 17, 2014, https://asociologist.com/2014/04/17/pikettys-patrimonial-capitalism-and-the-racial-wealth-gap/. In his assessment, however, Piketty overlooked the “peculiar institution” of our nation’s original sin. The color of what Piketty calls our “patrimonial capitalism” will be almost exclusively white. He is the author or editor of several books about the USSR and Russia. The Forbes 400, a list exclusively of billionaires, now possesses a stunning $2.34 trillion -- more wealth than the entire black population and one-third of the Latino population combined or a total of over 60 million people. He said, in general, that the system of slavery in the South (which lasted longer than any other Country) led to continued racial discrimination and the “welfare state”. The overwhelming majority of these subsidies flow to affluent and white households. What interest me about this story, at least for the purpose of this post, is what it means for the dynamics of racial inequality. Copyright © 2020 Elsevier B.V. or its licensors or contributors.

Sorry, I may have had a better point than that when I started writing, but the three students who came in to talk about their papers since then pretty much blew it out of my head. In the aftermath of the financial meltdown and the Great Recession that figure today has increased to six dollars. Furthermore, excessive wealth tax and estate taxes- contrary to intent- encourage conspicuous consumption rather than wealth building. Wealth plays an essential role in establishing financial security and opportunity for future generations. Mobility is important, but so is the culture of the wealthy. Wealth is more productive in private hands, but it is better to have it either public or private hands than to discourage its creation altogether. The racial wealth divide was created and exacerbated by public policies that currently threaten to push our nation towards fundamentally un-American levels of inequality and unequal opportunity.

A future governed by a hereditary aristocracy composed of the progeny of today's billionaires. The figures for the median post-recession family — a measure less skewed by America’s handful of superrich — are even further apart: in 2010, for every dollar held by the median black or Latino family, the median white family had eight. Bill propelled millions of white households into homeownership, discrimination in mortgage lending left most people of color behind. And when the current crop of top finance employees and CEOs die, their children will join the Kochs and Waltons as next generation’s economic elites. Worse even than racial income gaps, racial wealth gaps have grown tremendously in the past few decades.

So what course corrections are needed to reverse generations of racial economic inequality? We made it easy for you to exercise your right to vote. How we change that distribution is the biggest issue of our time. Well, white families. Other than through cronyist relations government largess will not increase individual wealth meaningfully.

That is going to create interesting tensions, and I wonder if you have any thoughts on that.. This article uses the concept of patrimonial capitalism to look at economic hybridity, its stability and relationship to political hybridity.

As far as I can tell, no one has picked up on this angle, perhaps because I’m missing something that complicates the analysis or perhaps because it’s too obvious to be worth highlighting.

where Piketty’s analysis gets interesting. [5] These CEOs are almost all men as well, but that matters a bit less for the analysis of inheritance (though not for other important questions around inequality).

Another future is possible, one where public policy can begin to bridge our nation's deep divisions, not continue to widen them. Today is National Voter Registration Day! The legacy of discrimination in asset-building programs, which help people purchase homes, save for college or increase retirement savings, goes back generations and has a direct impact on the net worth of today's families. Although I’ve been following the broad discussion of Piketty’s Capital in the 21st Century quite closely, I haven’t really decided where I stand on the book yet. Jim Livingstone’s historical analysis in Against Thrift shows that private capital has not had a significant impact on economic growth for the better part of a century. [2] At a minimum, politics explains why such pay is now taxed so little compared to 30 or 40 years ago.

With the demographic growth rate of Western countries so low— .0 to.1, there is no demand, very little growth, and increased disparities.

I found his discussion on slavery and how much wealth it brought to the South (far greater than what wealth there was in the North) very pertinent.

The New Yorker HAVING set forth, in the two preceding chapters, the nature of a commonwealth institutive, by the consent of many men together; I come now to speak of dominion, or a body politic by acquisition, which is commonly called a patrimonial kingdom. When the returns to capital (r) exceed the real growth rate (g), the rich get richer faster than they tend to spend their money, and faster than new fortunes can be created. Families who managed to make their fortunes in the relatively equal era of the 1940s-1970s, or in the increasingly unequal era of the last 30 years, will get to lock in those gains. But in the USA, the shifting demographics will mean that the people in (political) power will be largely supported by non-whites and depend on non-whites.

Progress in race relations has done little to narrow the racial wealth divide. Sorry, your blog cannot share posts by email. Similarly, we know that CEOs of large companies are disproportionately white, with just six of the Fortune 500 companies having a Black CEO, and just eight are Latino – and none of those minority CEOs are among the highest paid. For starters, consider public programs aimed at asset-building and homeownership. Production and hosting by Elsevier Ltd. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.euras.2013.03.003. All rights reserved. Put together Piketty’s story on the return of inherited wealth with the current massive racial wealth gaps in the US, and the white dominance of “supermanager” positions that are currently producing new fortunes to be inherited, and we get a recipe for continued economic dominance by (a small group of) white families. In his assessment, however, Piketty overlooked the "peculiar institution" of our nation's original sin. The US looks, at first glance, like a bit of an outlier because the incomes of very high earners (the top 1%, .1%, .01%…) contain a relatively high share of labor income, and not just returns to capital. Patrimonial capitalism develops as a means of coping with exogenous pressure to change economic practice. While pondering the book, and the ongoing discussion it has generated, I had a random thought that I don’t think I’ve seen elsewhere and so I thought I’d try it out on you nice folks here. [4] Note, I’ve not studied wealth statistics or wealth gaps nearly as much as income. This insidious racism and class structure is part of the future distribution of wealth –60% to the top 10%, 35% to the Middle Class (which is much bigger), and 5% to the lower class which own 0% capital.

So far this is what I think he is saying: Slow growth with increased capital accumulation over labor contributes to inequality only if there isn’t reinvestment back into the economy, which is then shared and distributed into a fairer capital/labor split.
