Milena Velba Und Micky



frequently who read newspapers and magazines, even if done with some reluctance and little attention as I know that fashion has been the idea that the elite are pessimistic . A magazine of those dedicated to telling stories about the power and the powerful and devoted a cover to the subject. The newspapers, meanwhile, have been published in recent weeks some columns that are in charge of analyzing the problem, by those already known to all talking heads of the media.

It is still striking that is people who hold very prominent positions within the elite (positions associated with the symbolic power) who say that the elite has a depressed mood. In other words, this is something of a self-diagnosis, self-observation, an exercise in self-reference. In any case should not be surprising that elites like they look in the mirror.

How to know if it is true that the elite are pessimistic? is very difficult to say with more certainty of delivering a hunch or opinion of an insider . The national public opinion polls are completely useless for knowing perceptions and states morale in the elite. Specific studies on the Chilean elite, like the chapter dedicated to him UNDP 2004, I have seen lately have been published. So that being a matter of intuition, I guess anyone can say. Reading

a of the same day, I found a story about the study results Global Wealth 2008, the Boston Consulting Group , which examines the changing fortunes in the world. Said about Chile:

In the segment of the population over $ 100 billion in assets, wealth rose 35% to U.S. $ 80 billion. This is a major advance the country in the last 3 years (...). As for families with more than $ 5 million , the study revealed that they rose 38% from 900 to 1,240 homes.

It quoted an expert who explains that increased wealth has to do with the appreciation of the peso against the dollar and commodity price increases. It also explains that in Latin America most high net worth individuals invest outside their country, unlike Chile:

is a country that believes in its institutions, like Brazil. Thus in both countries the proportion is inverse to the rest of the region, with 70% invested locally. (...). In the country are all Swiss banks and other players have created more products.

words, record increase of wealth and confidence in financial institutions. To me it strikes me that the elite is having just fine.
