SUMMARY:CEU DI Annual Conference 2025: Excessive Wealth Concentration and Democracy
DESCRIPTION:Conference description \nUnprecedented. In recent decades\, the tension between democracy and capitalism\, as old as modern democracy itself\, has escalated. Democracy promises that we manage our common affairs among equals. Capitalism undermines that promise by creating deep power inequalities between vast majorities who have very little and tiny groups who control unlimited wealth. Today\, wealth inequality has risen to levels not seen since the invention of representative democracy. By one estimate\, the 10 richest men in the world now own about as much wealth as the bottom half of the world’s population. \nUnaccountable. Wealth is power and the hyper-rich exercise it as they please. They hoard their wealth. They squander it on excursions to Mars or dreams of eternal life. They sponsor fantasies of global technological salvation. They invest in AI technologies that shatter lives and livelihoods. Some sponsor inclusionary visions\, social development\, and civic activism. They try to remedy the failure of markets or states. But whatever they do\, they do it without democratic oversight or accountability. \nUnlimited. The hyper concentration of wealth also undermines democracy in more direct ways. The hyper-rich pour money into the electoral process. They lobby legislators. They hire armies of lawyers to neutralize or mobilize the law for their purposes. They fund networks of radical ideologues and think tanks. They starve democratic states of resources through tax evasion. They build parallel life worlds that drain public services. They control social media empires that profit from unreason and collective hate. The wealthy think they can buy the will of the people and their representatives\, and often they can. \nThree Questions \nDespite its existential importance\, the relationship between excessive wealth concentration and democracy remains „shockingly under-discussed” (Rob Reich). The 2025 Annual Conference of the CEU Democracy Institute will focus on three central questions (with two panels devoted to each): \n\nHow does excessive wealth harm democracy? \n\nPanel “Informal and Illegal Oligarchs and Democracy” (convened by Carlos Meléndez) (23 June)\nPanel “How Does Excessive Wealth Damage Democracy?” (convened by Andrea Krizsan and Andreas Schedler) (24 June)\n\n\n\n\nCan hyper-wealth produce public goods?\n\nPanel “Can the Hyper-Rich Save the Climate?” (convened by Stephen Stec) (23 June)\nPanel “Promise and Pitfalls of Philanthropy” (convened by Zsuzsanna Szelenyi) (24 June)\n\n\n\n\nHow can we contain excessive wealth?\n\nPanel “How to Tax the Super-Rich?” (convened by Marlies Glasius) (23 June)\nPanel on “How to Break the Power of Oligarchs?” (convened by Balint Madlovics and Balint Magyar) (24 June)\n\n\n\nKeynotes \nA keynote address by Katharina Pistor on „Transforming the Law of Capitalism” will inaugurate the conference and a keynote address by Marlene Engelhorn\, “Inside the Bubble: How the Hyper-Rich View the World” will conclude it. \nThe Dynasty \nOften the rich translate wealth into power and rulers political power into wealth. We will show the documentary “A dinasztia” (directed by Mate Fuchs\, produced by Direkt36\, 2025) on the self-enrichment of Viktor Orban’s family in authoritarian Hungary and discuss it with Direkt36’s executive director and international journalists (June 23\, 6 pm\, Blinken OSA Archivum). \nPlease note that space is limited. Registration is required for in-person participants. Please sign up here.  \nThe event will be livestreamed on YouTube; for that\, no registration is required. \n\nPROGRAM \n  \nMONDAY\, JUNE 23 \n9.00-9:30 Welcome remarks \n\nShalini Randeria\, President and Rector of CEU\nLaszlo Bruszt\, Director of CEU Democracy Institute\nAndrea Krizsan and Andreas Schedler\, conference organizers\, Lead Researchers at CEU Democracy Institute\n\n9.30-11.00 Keynote: Katharina Pistor (Columbia University\, New York.): Transforming the Law of Capitalism \nModerator: Andreas Schedler (CEU Democracy Institute) \n  \n11.00-11.30 Coffee \n  \n11.30 – 13.00  Informal and Illegal Oligarchs and Democracy  \nConvener and chair: Carlos Melendez (CEU Democracy Institute\, Budapest) \nPanelists: \n\nZarai Toledo (Pontificia Universidad Catolica del Peru (PUCP)\, Lima)\nErdem Yoruk (Koc University\, Istanbul)\n\n  \n13.00-14.00 Lunch \n  \n14.00-15.30  Can the Hyper-Rich Save the Climate?  \nConvener and chair: Stephen Stec (CEU Democracy Institute\, Budapest)  \nPanelists: \n\nBenjamin Sovacool (Boston University)\nCatriona McKinnon (University of Exeter)\nJanos Pasztor (retired\, formerly Carnegie Climate Governance Initiative)\n\n  \n15.30-16.00 Coffee \n  \n16.00-17.30 How to Tax the Super-Rich? \nConvener and chair: Marlies Glasius (University of Amsterdam) \nPanelists: \n\nSarah Godar (EU Tax Observatory / DIW Berlin – German Institute for Economic Research\, Berlin)\nGiovanni Ochialli (Institute of Development Studies\, Brighton) (tbc)\nPatrick Sachweh (University of Bremen)\n\n  \n18.00-20.00 A dinasztia/ The Dynasty \nDocumentary screening with panel discussion \nChair: Anna Banati – Telex\, Hungary \nPanelists: \n\nAndras Petho Direkt36\, Hungary\nHenk Willem Smits\, Follow the Money\, the Netherlands\n\nLocation: OSA Blinken Archives\, Budapest\, Arany Janos u. 32  \n20.00-20.30 Wine reception \n  \nTUESDAY\, JUNE 24 \n9.30-11.00 How Does Excessive Wealth Damage Democracy?  \nConveners and chairs: Andrea Krizsan & Andreas Schedler (CEU Democracy Institute\, Budapest) \nPanelists:  \n\nKati Cseres (University of Amsterdam)\nPeter Haegel (American University of Paris)\nShakuntala Banaji (London School of Economics)\n\n  \n11.00-11.30 Coffee \n  \n11.30-13.00 How to Break the Power of Oligarchs? \n  \nConveners: Balint Madlovics & Balint Magyar (CEU Democracy Institute\, Budapest) \nChair: Balint Madlovics (CEU Democracy Institute) \nPanelists:  \n\nInna Melnykovska (Central European University\, Vienna)\nAdam Keith (Human Rights First\, New York.)\nBalint Magyar (CEU Democracy Institute\, Budapest)\n\n  \n13.00-14.00 Lunch \n  \n14.00-15.30  Promise and Pitfalls of Philanthropy  \nConvener and chair: Zsuzsanna Szelenyi (CEU Democracy Institute\, Budapest)  \nPanelists: \n\nAlvaro Morcillo Laiz (CEU Democracy Institute\, Budapest)\nInderjeet Parmar (City St George’s\, University of London)\nNiamh McCrea (South East Technological University\, Ireland)\n\n  \n15.30-16.00 Coffee \n  \n16.00-17.30 Keynote: Marlene Engelhorn (Tax Me Now\, Germany): Inside the Bubble: How the Hyper-Rich View the World \nModerator: Andrea Krizsan (CEU Democracy Institute) \n\nFind out more about the speakers here.
