Estudo do IPEA mostra que o esvaziamento do Estado no mercado financeiro e a redução da quantidade de bancos nos últimos onze anos contribuiu para agravar a desigualdade regional. "Nos últimos dez anos houve uma transferência de recursos que serviam de crédito para as regiões Norte, Nordeste e Centro-Oeste do Brasil para uma maior concentração na região Sudeste", diz Marcio Pochmann, presidente do instituto.

The Quiet Coup

by Simon Johnson

The crash has laid bare many unpleasant truths about the United States. One of the most alarming, says a former chief economist of the International Monetary Fund, is that the finance industry has effectively captured our government-a state of affairs that more

typically describes emerging markets, and is at the center of many emerging-market crises. If the IMF’s staff could speak freely about the U.S., it would tell us what it tells all countries in this situation: recovery will fail unless we break the financial oligarchy that is blocking essential reform. And if we are to prevent a true depression, we’re running out of time.

(…) the biggest obstacle to recovery, is almost invariably the politics of countries in crisis. Emerging-market governments and their private-sector allies commonly form a tightknit-and, most of the time, genteel-oligarchy, running the country rather like a profitseeking company in which they are the controlling shareholders. In a primitive political system, power is transmitted through violence, or the threat of violence: military coups, private militias, and so on. In a less primitive system more typical of emerging markets, power is transmitted via money: bribes, kickbacks, and offshore bank accounts. Although lobbying and campaign contributions certainly play major roles in the American political system, old-fashioned corruption-envelopes stuffed with $100 bills-is probably a sideshow today, Jack Abramoff notwithstanding.

Instead, the American financial industry gained political power by amassing a kind of cultural capital-a belief system. Once, perhaps, what was good for General Motors was good for the country. Over the past decade, the attitude took hold that what was good for Wall Street was good for the country.
