Esta dissertação investiga a influência das elites financeiras, particularmente bilionários, no cenário político e econômico dos Estados Unidos. Explora o crescente domínio das forças financeiras, impulsionadas por corporações transnacionais e indivíduos como Elon Musk e Jeff Bezos, que desafiam a autoridade tradicional do Estado. Sob a ótica da economia política, o estudo analisa as complexas interconexões entre poder econômico e político, destacando o papel dessas elites na formulação de políticas públicas e governança global. Estruturas teóricas fundamentais, como a análise de redes de elites de Domhoff e os conceitos de poder estrutural e relacional de Leslie Sklair, Hagel, C. Wright Mills e Susan Strange, sustentam o exame de como as elites financeiras moldam os sistemas internacionais. A pesquisa foca na extraordinária acumulação de riqueza de Musk e Bezos, especialmente durante a pandemia de COVID-19, e seu papel na intensificação das disparidades socioeconômicas. Uma revisão abrangente da literatura, aliada a estudos de caso, destaca como essas elites alavancam seu poder econômico para influenciar decisões políticas e políticas públicas. Os
resultados enfatizam a necessidade de mecanismos regulatórios mais eficazes para contrabalançar a influência desproporcional das elites financeiras e promover o desenvolvimento econômico equitativo. Este estudo contribui para o debate acadêmico sobre desigualdade e o papel crucial dos bilionários na configuração do capitalismo global contemporâneo.
This dissertation investigates the influence of financial elites, particularly billionaires, on the political and economic landscape of the United States. It explores the increasing dominance of financial forces, driven by transnational corporations and individuals such as Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, which challenge the traditional authority of the state. Through the lens of political economy, the study analyzes the intricate interconnections between economic and political power, emphasizing the role of these elites in shaping public policy and global governance. Key theoretical frameworks, including Domhoff's analysis of elite networks, Sklair, Hagel, C. Wright Mills and Susan Strange's concepts of structural and relational power, underpin the examination of how financial elites shape international systems. The research focuses on the extraordinary wealth accumulation of Musk and Bezos, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, and its role in intensifying socio-economic disparities. A comprehensive review of the literature, combined with case studies, highlights how these elites leverage their economic power to influence political decisions and public policies. The findings underscore the need for more effective regulatory mechanisms to counterbalance the disproportionate influence of financial elites and foster equitable economic development. This study contributes to the academic discourse on inequality and the critical role of billionaires in shaping contemporary global capitalism.
