爆炸性新闻：罗斯柴尔德家族伦敦开年会，控30万亿美元
Prince Charles talks to Lynn Forester de Rothschild (left), organizer of the
Conference on Inclusive Capitalism, and Christine Lagarde, head of the
International Monetary Fund, before Tuesday’s conference. The 250 corporate
and financial leaders who attended control some $30 trillion, about a third
of the world’s investable assets.
Talk of economic mobility and the wealth gap is hardly new. From the Occupy
movement to President Obama’’s re-election campaign, income inequality has
been in the spotlight for years.
Even so, the in London on Tuesday broke new ground. Not because of the
conversation, but because of the people having it.
The 250 people from around the world invited to attend this one-day
conference do not represent "the 99 percent," or even the 1 percent. It’s
more like a tiny fraction of the 1 percent.
"We have $30 trillion of assets under management in the room," says
conference organizer Lynn Forester de Rothschild, who runs , a major
investment firm she and her husband, of the storied Rothschild banking
family, founded in 2003.
That amount — $30 trillion — is roughly one-third of the total investable
wealth in the world. If money is power, then this is the most powerful group
of people ever to focus on income inequality.
"If this bulk of capital decides that they are going to invest in companies
that aren’t only thinking about the short-term profit," says Rothschild, "
then we will see corporate behavior change."
The titans of commerce and finance didn’t necessarily fly to this meeting
in London out of a sense of ethics or moral duty, though that may be a
motivation for some. For many, says Rothschild, it’s a sense of self-
preservation. Capitalism appears to be under siege.
"It’s true that the business of business is not to solve society’s
problems," she says. "But it is really dangerous for business when business
is viewed as one of society’s problems. And that is where we are today."
Prince Charles kicked off the morning’s proceedings.
"What is so impressive about today’s gathering is that every one of you,
ladies and gentlemen, is so well-placed to take the kind of action needed to
create a new form of inclusive capitalism," he told the conference.
Defining Inclusive Capitalism
That phrase, "inclusive capitalism," is deliberately broad. People talked
about it as valuing long-term investment over short-term profits. Some
mentioned environmental stewardship; others focused on treating workers well.
Christine Lagarde, who runs the International Monetary Fund, said it is a
way to rebuild trust in the financial system.
"So the big question is, how can we restore and sustain trust?" she asked in
her keynote speech. "First and foremost, by making sure that growth is more
inclusive and that the rules of the road favor the many and not just the
few."
She said this will be a hard slog, because there will be winners and losers,
"and the likely losers are those who have the biggest voice, because they
have the largest means."
Later in the day, the group heard speeches from former U.S. President Bill
Clinton and Bank of England chief Mark Carney.
Critics suggest this may all be optics. The conference delegates didn’t
sign on to a specific action plan, or even publicly endorse a set of values.
"I suspect the return on investment in this conference is astonishingly low,
" says Scott Winship of the Manhattan Institute, a conservative-leaning
think tank. "It sort of surprises me that you have a bunch of people in the
investment community who view this as having a significant return on
investment in some way, whether the return is in people patting them on the
back and saying, ’’Thanks for caring about us,’’ or in actual changes to
policies."
Conference organizer Rothschild says there will be follow-up with all of the
delegates, but she made a conscious decision not to ask for any commitments
up front.
"Even for me," she says laughing, "I thought that would be a little pushy." | m*****p
