Economic Growth as a Power Process
York University presentation by Blair Fix
October 27, 2015

ABSTRACT: Is economic growth a miracle of the free market? According to 
mainstream theory, growth is best ensured through conditions of ‘perfect 
competition’. However, economic growth is tightly correlated with the 
concentration of power in the hands of large corporations. Why? The 
capital as power framework provides potential answers that turn 
mainstream theory on its head: growth seems to be intimately related to 
the formation of hierarchy.
