What Happened to the Bondholding Class? Public Debt, Power and the Top One Per Cent

In 1887 Henry Carter Adams produced a study demonstrating that the ownership of government bonds was heavily concentrated in the hands of a ‘bondholding class’ that lent to and, in Adams's view, controlled the government like dominant shareholders control a corporation. The interests of this bondholding class clashed with the interests of the masses, whose burdensome taxes financed the interest payments on government bonds. Since the late nineteenth century there has been plenty of debate about the ownership of the public debt. But the empirical evidence offered to support the various arguments has been scant. As a result, political economists have few answers to questions first raised by Adams over century ago: how has the pattern of public debt ownership changed? Can we still speak of a powerful ‘bondholding class’? Does public debt redistribute income from taxpayers to public creditors? This article develops a new framework to address these questions. Anchored within a ‘capital as power’ approach, the research indicates a staggering pattern of concentration in the ownership of US public debt in the hands of the top one per cent of US households over the past three decades. Accordingly, the bondholding class is still alive and well in contemporary US capitalism.

Dynamic Modelling and Simulation of an Auto Vehicle Steering Mechanism Considering its Elements as Flexible

The paper presents the dynamic analysis of a steering mechanism for a road vehicle, considering the deformability of some elements, such as the steering tie rods. Both the steering and suspension mechanisms were analysed form structural point of view. The kinematic scheme of the assembly was done, followed by a study of their parts and kinematic joints. Then, there was calculated the degree of mobility of the mechanism. The dynamic analysis was approached in case of a stationary vehicle. Considering the geometry of the real model, it was designed the 3D model of the mechanisms assembly. Respecting the positioning on the vehicle, the model was exported to the Adams View software, where the components were assembled, defining the kinematics joints. The values obtained by simulations are compared to those obtained by experimental means. Also, results can be used to optimize aspects of the mechanical system. Finite element analysis was performed to study the contact stress distribution of the rack and pinion gear, considering wheels-road contact and also the friction from the spherical and cylindrical joints of the mechanism. The rack and pinion gear was defined by coupling the rotational motion of the pinion with the translation of the rack.
