Kim Helsvig (OsloMet):

Makt og motstand i hyperkapitalismens tid

Neoliberalism and elites in Sweden

How have business elites shaped our modern economy and democracy? What patterns of formation and impact distinguish them within Western countries, and how do these differ on a global scale, particularly in Russia and China? Are the pathways of CEOs universally applicable, or do we witness divergent career trajectories across different cultural and political landscapes? Do billionaires and CEOs share common grounds, or do they operate within distinct echelons even within the elite strata? Is the concept of a transnational business elite grounded in our contemporary globalized world?
