A closer look at those at the top reveals a disproportionate role for rent-seeking: some have obtained their wealth by exercising monopoly power; others are CEOs who have taken advantage of deficiencies in corporate governance to extract for themselves an excessive share of corporate earnings; and still others have used political connections to benefit from government munificence –&nbsp;either excessively high prices for what the government buys (drugs), or excessively low prices for what the government sells (mineral rights).
Un examen plus fin de qui trône au sommet révèle un rôle disproportionné d’activités impliquant la capture de rentes&nbsp;: certains ont accumulé leur fortune en exerçant un monopole, d’autres tirent profit des lacunes de gouvernance pour se saisir d’une part excessive des bénéfices des sociétés qu’ils dirigent.
