Session Submission Type: Paper Session (90 minute)
Focusing on the concentration of wealth and power on a global scale, this panel interrogates the structures and strategies that sustain elite dominance. Papers explore various mechanisms of wealth accumulation and legitimation across and within national contexts, including moral narratives, financial infrastructures, market positions, and institutional arrangements. The session considers how these processes reproduce inequality and shape social hierarchies.
