This overstates the importance of central banker CEOs. Those are on the same tier as politicians. There are also plenty of corporate elite more powerful than many big bankers so that category is fuzzy.

kek it should be tilted to the right because even peasants lived a better life than wagies today

Do you know what the BIS is?

Only as powerful in any individual country as the politicians allow it to be. If the politicians are corrupt they listen a lot to bankers and corporate elite and thus let the central banks do whatever. But that still puts the central bankers under the politicians.

i agree. i don’t have solid knowledge but i don’t think central banks have that much power

>>19764744

They aren't even really banks. They do a completely different thing.

The FED basically chooses which companies live and which companies die at this point. They have way more power than you realize.

>>19764238
The comparison is retarded. Feudal lords had (proportionally) huge personal wealth and hard power. (Ability to enforce laws by use of force) Bankers / CEOs have comparatively small personal wealth and only soft power. (Must buy influence or the ability to enforce laws by use of force)

This also ignores the fact that the world is run by <500 families anyway.

Yeah, at this point. If you haven't noticed there is no law enforcement or regulation of the markets right now and our politicians let it fucking happen. Everyone should have seen it coming when Trump hired fucking Steve Mnuchin. There are even recognizing the lawlessness on CNBC.

You telling me I'd have been better of financially back then than now as a merchant(explorer)!? If there was space exploration now youd best believe I'd have my own ship.

This is retarded.

The past few weeks have shown that HR departments and mid-level city bureaucrats hold the true power in society.

We're in controlled demolition mode at this point. Its gonna be orders of magnitude worse than Volcker's chainsaw massacre back in the 70s. But that's what happens when you don't do yearly controlled burns. Fuel just piles up until you get colossal wildfires.

The difference is now you can actually climb the ranks with nothing
Where previously if your father was a peasant you were essentially doomed to be one too

>>19764238
The chart is stupid. Central bankers, big bankers, the corporate elite ALL operate as long as the government of a given country gives them a pass.

Medieval mercenaries and condottieri were like that as well. Sengoku Era samurai were mercenaries who were made nobles as a reward for their service.
