Abstract: American Behavioral Scientist, Ahead of Print.
This article draws on interviews conducted with 65 upper-middle class and upper-class Latinos in the business and corporate sector to investigate how racist and exclusionary immigration policy shocks at the state and federal level in the United States—such as Prop 187 in California, SB1070 in Arizona in the 2010s and Trump’s criminalizing rhetoric and immigration policies before and during his first term—shape the racial/ethnic identification and philanthropic activities of Latino economic elites. I argue that well-publicized racialized policies, what I refer to “racist policy shocks,” have enduring effects because they shock systems at multiple levels of society that ripple through institutions and everyday life and across time. Racist policy shocks can result in more than changes in public opinion, a thickening of ethnic identity, and political protest in the moment that groups are being targeted—they can also have long-lasting impacts on racial/ethnic identity, reinforce ethnic solidarity, and spur people to economic action and ethnoracial uplift. I argue that individual level factors rooted in ethnorace and class intersections—such as growing up in low-income communities and experiences with discrimination—combine with an exclusionary macro level context—such as negative political rhetoric that constantly demonizes Latinos as a threat—to crystallize a sense of ethnic solidarity and responsibility for the broader Latino community.

Abstract: American Behavioral Scientist, Ahead of Print.
In this article, we analyze the representations of education that Mexican economic elites uphold. Our objective is to know if such representations have changed after the impact of two shocks: on the one hand, the discursive change of the federal government in matters of social policy after the arrival of Andrés Manuel López Obrador to the presidency of Mexico; on the other hand, the effects of the transition to a virtual learning modality during the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, we are interested in investigating how elites understand the role of education within a national context marked by high poverty, little social mobility, and deep social inequality. Given that existing literature has understood educational institutions as both an enabler of overall social mobility and a tool for elite reproduction, we analyze elites’ consideration of education and their own role in it as a solution to pressing social problems and as a reproductive factor. We find their narratives to hold in essence but change in tone with the shocks unfolding.

Abstract: American Behavioral Scientist, Ahead of Print.
The actions of societal elites exert a disproportionate impact on events and outcomes in their home societies. These actions are driven by a combination of factors internal and external to their nation. Using the leaders of large American corporations—the group I call the American corporate elite—as an example, I examine the extent to which these two forces affected the character and orientation of the group, from the period immediately following World War II to the present. I argue that this elite was both constrained and enabled by a series of domestic and global forces, and I attempt to disentangle the role of both. Globally, American corporations benefited from the unique strength of the United States following the war, but their actions were constrained by both the Cold War with the Soviet Union and domestic forces, including an active and highly legitimate federal government and a relatively strong labor movement. An increase in foreign economic competition, along with domestic turmoil, in the 1970s helped trigger a decline in American strength and a conservative shift among the corporate elite. Although observers have attributed the group’s increasing conservatism and fragmentation in recent years to the end of the Cold War and the rise of globalization, I argue that neither of these factors can account for these outcomes. I conclude by discussing the implications of this argument for the corporate elite, and American society as a whole.

Abstract: American Behavioral Scientist, Ahead of Print.
How do economic elites react to global shocks' Here, global shocks refer to events that disrupt both the economy and society, such as economic crises, political regime collapses, natural and climate disasters, and collective health emergencies, including pandemics. These events have varied impacts across different geographical regions and population groups, including social classes and age cohorts. We argue that examining the relationship between global shocks and economic elites provides a unique perspective on significant trends among these elites. Against this backdrop, we will address two key aspects regarding the current characteristics and internal differentiations of economic elites: (a) their stance on socioeconomic inequalities, legitimization, and the construction of social acceptance; (b) new lifestyles and spatial relationships, including practices like land and space grabbing.

Abstract: American Behavioral Scientist, Ahead of Print.
Extreme levels of inequality have drawn increasing attention to those at the top of the income and wealth distributions, and the United States is home to some of the world’s most affluent and influential households. A robust literature on economic elites in the United States documented details about their incomes and wealth prior to 2019, but it is unclear how recent economic shocks affected their financial resources and the distribution of income and wealth among U.S. households more broadly. We contribute to the literatures on elite households and global political economies by exploring the association between the global economic shock that accompanied the coronavirus 2019 disease (COVID-19) pandemic and U.S. income and wealth. We use data from the 1989 to 2022 of Consumer Finances (SCF) to provide details regarding changing inequality and the incomes and wealth of the top one percent of households. We explore changes in income sources (e.g., wage, business, capital) and wealth components (e.g., real estate, financial assets) to identify reasons for changing resource composition. We study how the demographics—age and education—of the one percent have changed, and we also explore whether the double-rich—those with both top incomes and top wealth—have changed. Our results are among the first to document the current concentration of economic resources in the United States and underscore the need to incorporate global processes in understanding inequalities in major economies.
