  • Political Capture and Economic Inequality
    178 OXFAM BRIEFING PAPER 20 JANUARY 2014 Housing for the wealthier middle classes rises above the insecure housing of a slum community in Lucknow, India. Photo: Tom Pietrasik/Oxfam WORKING FOR THE FEW Political capture and economic inequality Economic inequality is rapidly increasing in the majority of countries. The wealth of the world is divided in two: almost half going to the richest one percent; the other half to the remaining 99 percent. The World Economic Forum has identified this as a major risk to human progress. Extreme economic inequality and political capture are too often interdependent. Left unchecked, political institutions become undermined and governments overwhelmingly serve the interests of economic elites to the detriment of ordinary people. Extreme inequality is not inevitable, and it can and must be reversed quickly. www.oxfam.org SUMMARY In November 2013, the World Economic Forum released its ‘Outlook on the Global Agenda 2014’, in which it ranked widening income disparities as the second greatest worldwide risk in the coming 12 to 18 months. Based on those surveyed, inequality is ‘impacting social stability within countries and threatening security on a global scale.’ Oxfam shares its analysis, and wants to see the 2014 World Economic Forum make the commitments needed to counter the growing tide of inequality. Some economic inequality is essential to drive growth and progress, rewarding those with talent, hard earned skills, and the ambition to innovate and take entrepreneurial risks. However, the extreme levels of wealth concentration occurring today threaten to exclude hundreds of millions of people from realizing the benefits of their talents and hard work.

  • Dobber's 2010-11 Fantasy Guide
    DOBBER’S 2010-11 FANTASY GUIDE DOBBERHOCKEY.COM – HOME OF THE TOP 300 FANTASY PLAYERS I think we’re at the point in the fantasy hockey universe where DobberHockey.com is either known in a fantasy league, or the GM’s are sleeping. Besides my column in The Hockey News’ Ultimate Pool Guide, and my contributions to this year’s Score Forecaster (fifth year doing each), I put an ad in McKeen’s. That covers the big three hockey pool magazines and you should have at least one of them as part of your draft prep. The other thing you need, of course, is this Guide right here. It is not only updated throughout the summer, but I also make sure that the features/tidbits found in here are unique. I know what’s in the print mags and I have always tried to set this Guide apart from them. Once again, this is an automatic download – just pick it up in your downloads section. Look for one or two updates in August, then one or two updates between September 1st and 14th. After that, when training camp is in full swing, I will be updating every two or three days right into October. Make sure you download the latest prior to heading into your draft (and don’t ask me on one day if I’ll be updating the next day – I get so many of those that I am unable to answer them all, just download as late as you can). Any updates beyond this original release will be in bold blue.

  • COVID-19, Elites and the Future Political Economy of Inequality Reduction in Latin America
    COVID-19, elites and the future political economy of inequality reduction in Latin America Benedicte Bull and Francisco Robles Rivera Abstract The literature is divided on the impact of pandemics on income inequality. The economic literature points to an increase in inequality as a result of pandemics, whereas historical and political science literature argue that pandemics may create breakdowns of institutions, maintaining inequality due to elite shifts and pressure from below. We review current data on the impact of COVID-19 and find that there is evidence of an upward income transfer as well as some elite shifts in the region. However, elites have controlled the economic measures to alleviate and confront the crisis and there is little evidence of a resultant institutional breakdown. Keywords COVID-19, viruses, epidemics, economic aspects, income distribution, elite, wealth, poverty, economic policy, Latin America JEL classification N46, P16, D36 Authors Benedicte Bull is a professor in the Centre for Development and the Environment (SUM) at the University of Oslo, Norway.

Email: [email protected]. 78 CEPAL Review N° 132 • December 2020 I. Introduction The debate on the effect of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) on inequality has changed dramatically over the last months. While COVID-19 was portrayed as “the great equalizer” in the early stages of the spread of the infection and lockdown measures (Mein, 2020), evidence now abounds that the pandemic will increase poverty and inequality (Busso and Messina, 2020).

    THE BEATINGS AND THE DAMAGE DONE 1 THE SORRY STATE OF TODAY’S NHL The 1972 Summit Series that pitted Canada against the Soviet Union is one of the most seminal moments in the history of hockey. And in that series, one of the heroes for the Canadian team was a gap-toothed, maple-syrup-bleeding, 23-year-old whirling dervish named Bobby Clarke. Clarke’s biggest contribution to that Summit Series tourna- ment—won, of course, by Canada in a come-from-behind, eight-game victory—did not take the form of a goal scored, a deft assist, or a soul-stirring locker-room intermission speech. Instead,COPYRIGHTED a large part of Clarke’s legacy MATERIAL was forged forever in Game 6 of the Summit Series, when he swung his stick down on the ankle of Valeri Kharlamov and fractured the Soviet star forward’s ankle, essentially leaving the Russian star a shell of himself for the rest of his career. Clarke, meanwhile, went on to enjoy a 15-year career in the National Hockey League (NHL), win two Stanley Cups with CC01.indd01.indd 1 007/09/117/09/11 11:50:50 PPMM 2 | Fighting the Good Fight the infamously over-aggressive “Broad St. Bully” Philadelphia Flyers, and retire as a fi rst-ballot Hockey-Hall-of-Famer. Indeed, Clarke embodied the win-at-all-costs mentality that had a stranglehold on elite-level North American hockey long before then—and that still carries sway in the NHL. Today, even Bobby Clarke thinks things have gone too far and the costs are too high.

  • Analyzing the Involvement of Oligarchs' Philanthropy
    Shouldn’t, Wouldn’t, Couldn’t? Analyzing the Involvement of Oligarchs’ Philanthropy Foundations in the Ukrainian Protests of 2013-14 Hanna Söderbaum Uppsala University Abstract: This article analyzes the agency of wealthy businessmen-politicians’ philanthropy foundations during the Ukrainian Maidan protests of 2013-14 in which crowdfunding and grassroots mobilization constituted key distinctive features. As the role of these philanthropy foundations remains obscure, this article aims to bridge this gap in our knowledge of Ukrainian politics and society. The protesters strived to achieve social change and democratization similar to what was being purported by wealthy businessmen-politicians’ foundations during the years leading up to the protests. However, since the protesters specified one particular aim as “de- oligarchization,” the involvement of these organizations is puzzling. What did these foundations do at this critical point? To what extent can their actions or inactions be explained by the institutional and framework constraints of the foundations, the strategies of the wealthy businessmen-politicians behind the foundations, and the lack of the foundations’ legitimacy in the eyes of the civic sector activists? The analysis covers different types of foundation and is based on semi-structured interviews involving the foundations’ representatives, think-and-do tank analysts, and Maidan activists, over the years 2011 to 2017. The findings show that the organizational entities were largely directed by their respective founders.
