The financial<br>investors seemed to reorganize the sector but this process was abruptly halted because<br>of the world economic crisis from 2008. A number of companies high above average owned<br>by private equity fell into insolvency and, overall, the power structures in the value chain of<br>the industry remained stable. This is illustrated by means of empirical data of 163 corporate<br>takeovers. The example illustrates that the financial market capitalism is not able to establish<br>a stable production regime yet.</p>}, number={166}, journal={PROKLA.
