  • Hedge Fund Billionaires Attack the Hudson Valley Wall Street Goes All in to Save Tax Breaks for the Wealthy
    HEDGE PAPERS No.39 HEDGE FUND BILLIONAIRES ATTACK THE HUDSON VALLEY WALL STREET GOES ALL IN TO SAVE TAX BREAKS FOR THE WEALTHY Hedge funds and billionaire hedge fund managers are destroying our economy, corrupting our government, hurting families and communities and exploding inequality. It’s happening all over America, and increasingly all over the world. And now it’s happening in the Hudson Valley. A tiny group of hedge fund billionaires have targeted the congressional campaign in the 19th House District of New York, spending millions of dollars to support GOP candidate John Faso and attack Democratic candidate Zephyr Teachout. SIX HEDGE FUND BILLIONAIRES HIT THE HUDSON VALLEY WITH $5.5 MILLION IN CAMPAIGN CASH The amount of campaign cash is amazing: we’ve found that six billionaire hedge fund managers from New York City, Connecticut and Long Island have given $5,517,600 to PACs and Super PACs active in the Teachout-Faso campaign in this electoral cycle. These same six men have given $102,768,940 in federal and New York state campaign contributions in the past two decades. They’re not doing it for nothing -- they want something in return. These hedge fund billionaires and their colleagues at hedge funds and private equity firms get billions of dollars in special tax breaks under the “carried interest loophole” – and they want to keep the loophole wide open. Closing the loophole would save the federal government an estimated $18 billion per year, according to an analysis by law professor Victor Fleischer.[1] But huge sums of lobbying and campaign cash directed at Congress – and Congressional candidates – by hedge funds and private equity firms have stymied reform in Washington and fueled continued obstructionism.

  • Fit to Be King: How Patrimonialism on Wall Street Leads to Inequality Megan Tobias Neely*
    Socio-Economic Review, 2018, Vol. 16, No. 2, 365–385 doi: 10.1093/ser/mwx058 Article Article Fit to be king: how patrimonialism on Wall Street leads to inequality Megan Tobias Neely* The Michelle R. Clayman Institute for Gender Research, Stanford University, 450 Serra Mall, Stanford, CA, 94025-2047, USA *Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract The hedge fund industry is one of the most lucrative and powerful industries in the USA, yet it mostly comprises white men. To understand why, I turn to Weber’s theory of patrimonialism, which primarily has been applied to historical or non- Western societies. I argue that patrimonialism—activated through trust, loyalty and tradition—restricts access to financial rewards and facilitates the reproduction of the white male domination of this industry. Using data from 45 in-depth interviews com- bined with field observations at industry events over a 4-year period, I investigate how hiring, grooming and seeding practices within and among firms enable certain elites to maintain monopolies over financial resources. Applying the theory of patri- monialism to a context with few women and minority men in power-holding posi- tions demonstrates how practices that reproduce elite structures are directly connected to inequality in the workplace. Key words: patrimonialism, trust, loyalty, social capital, elites, gender, race and ethnicity, social class, work and occupations, finance JEL classification: G24, J44, J62, J70, J71 1. Introduction Inequality in the USA has returned to levels unprecedented since the years before World War II. The rising incomes of the top 10% of earners are driving this increasing inequality (Piketty, 2014).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY American Revolution 2.0 Fall of the Wall: Capital Flows to Education Innovation Executive Summary § Approximately a year ago, GSV Advisors set out to analyze whether there is adequate innovation and entrepreneurialism in the education sector and, if not, whether a lack of capital was constraining education innovation § Our observations from research, interviews, and collective experience indicate that there is great energy and enthusiasm around the PreK-12, Post Secondary and Adult (“PreK to Gray”) education markets as they relate to innovation and the opportunity to invest in emerging companies at all stages § Investment volume in 2011 exceeded peak 1999 – 2000 levels, but is differentiated from this earlier period by entrepreneurial leaders with a breadth of experience including education, social media and technology; companies with vastly lower cost structures; improved education market receptivity to innovation, and elevated investor sophistication.
