The winners and losers

The original conference was held at the Hotel de Bilderberg in Oosterbeek, Netherlands, from 29 to 31 May 1954. From those early days of fest by prosperous, it has become to here:  The Bilderberg Group or Bilderberg conference, is an annual private conference of approximately 120 to 140 invited guests from North America and Europe, most of whom are people of influence. About one-third are from government and politics, and two-thirds from finance, industry, labour, education and communications...
Easily to the new novices led to believe that this is supposed to be a nice interactive forum.
In particular, those who have the socialist's backgrounds, usualy have low self-esteem, and so they want to please the rich.
Some research has focused on this group. One is Ian Richardson, the Director of Executive Education at SU Business School and a Visiting Fellow at Cranfield University School of Management.

The United States and western Europe have been for the past 20-30 years very good places for the ultra-rich to live in. Do you see any connection to that with the Bilderberg group, asked Yle MOT's reporter.
Richardson:
Is the role of Bilderberg to represent the interests of these people? No.
Is Bilderberg representing the interests of these people? Ofcourse, yes. But largely unconsciously so.
According to Richardson it's belief in certain policies, but the group's belief for instance in a free market, globalization, these processes have winners and losers.
And the jury is still out, but certainly most reports on globalization, economic globalization, indicate that there appear to be more losers than winners.
Sure, the gap between the rich and the poor is widening, not just in developing countries but also in developed countries.

Ian Richardson is also an Assistant Professor at Stockholm University Business School. His research interests include global governance, transnational policy networks, business and political elites, multi-stakeholder collaboration, power and consensus, and political marketing.
