“Asset Manager Capitalism”

Via Alan Thomas, I come across this short talk by political economist Mark Blyth (Brown), which also discusses the "Wall Street Green New Deal" and mentions this striking Rand Corporation report on the effect of the "Reagan Revolution" from the right on wealth inequality.

Curious to hear from those knowledgeable about the economic literatures he discusses how sound this analysis is.  (In his brief discussion of "legal" literature on who really owns corporations, I note he sides with what is a minority view in the academic literature, without much discussion.  Of course, the minority view may be correct.)
