About this Event
THE POWER OF FINANCE UNDER ASSET MANAGER CAPITALISM with Dr Benjamin Braun
Join us to hear Dr Benjamin Braun, Senior Researcher at the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies discuss his research on 'Exit, control, and politics: Structural power and corporate governance under asset manager capitalism'. This talk will be chaired by IIPP’s Head of Research Dr Carolina Alves with Dr Olga Mikheeva as discussant. Followed by questions from the audience.
In this talk, Benjamin Braun will focus on the ongoing evolution of the structural power of finance, drawing upon his latest research 'Exit, control, and politics: Structural power and corporate governance under asset manager capitalism'. Macroeconomic developments and financial innovations have reduced financial actors’ exit options, thus diminishing exit-based structural power, traditionally associated with banks and institutional investors. At the same time, shareholdings have become more concentrated in the hands of large asset managers, thus increasing control-based power. The talk documents these countervailing trends, before turning to the question of whether, and to what ends, asset managers wield this power.
