Removing stealth from wealth - Brooke Harrington , Offshore: Stealth Wealth and the New Colonialism, W.W. Norton & Co., 2024
Scholarly work on economic elites' financial behavior has made considerable strides since Brooke Harrington's (2016) pathbreaking Capital Without Borders.In the interim, empirical studies of wealthy families, wealth managers, and tax maneuvering have helped fill in some of the details that lay beyond the scope of Harrington's original volume.Now, almost a decade later, in an even more unequal global context, Harrington picks up the laudable mantl…
Keeping the Family Fortune: How Bureaucratic Practices Preserve Elite Multigenerational Wealth
How do wealthy families preserve their fortunes across generations? A historic peak in wealth inequality in the United States has inspired research on how economic elites benefit from markets, tax rates, and legal entities. However, the ongoing practices through which families maintain their fortunes across generations are less understood. Using six months of ethnographic observations at a wealth manager for the top 0.1 percent, as well as interv…
Antisocial Capital: Community Cohesion and Tax Avoidance among American Elites
Studies of social capital usually emphasize its prosocial, deviance-reducing effects. This article instead explores its negative potential. The authors focus on the relationship between different forms of community-level social capital and tax avoidance by wealthy Americans, using data from the Panama Papers leaks to analyze the residential communities of Americans who engaged in offshore tax avoidance. The analysis demonstrates, first, that comm…
D Social Research: Analysis of Social Interaction Using Computer Vision
Video data offer important insights into social processes because they enable direct observation of real-life social interaction. Though such data have become abundant and increasingly accessible, they pose challenges to scalability and measurement. Computer vision (CV), i.e., software-based automated analysis of visual material, can help address these challenges, but existing CV tools are not sufficiently tailored to analyze social interactions.…
Intergenerational Educational Mobility and Life-Course Income Trajectories in the United States
Atheoretical formulation derived from the cumulative advantage literature, that intergenerational educational mobility has enduring life-course income effects above and beyond individuals’ education, is empirically tested. This formulation contrasts sharply with both the human capital model, which does not consider parental education as a determinant of children’s income, and the sociological research on social mobility, which mostly relies on a …

US baby boomers' homeownership trajectories across the life course: A Sequence Analysis approach
Extensive homeownership research examines rates, transitions, and timing, over short and medium time spans. However, little is known about long-term homeownership patterns over the life course. https://www.demographic-research.org CONTRIBUTION Conceptualizing and measuring homeownership as a life course phenomenon over the long term, our study suggests considerable stability of homeownership with experiences shaped by key sociodemographic charact…
Understanding the Divergent Logics of Landlords: Circumstantial versus Deliberate Pathways
Landlords are important gatekeepers in the rental market, and scholars have studied landlord perceptions across different markets. But differences between landlord logics within a market, which drive landlord behaviors, have been largely unexamined. Drawing chiefly on 30 in–depth landlord interviews and 20 observations with property managers in Philadelphia, I argue that landlords exhibit a range of logics. When faced with rental market decisions…
