Produktinformationen zu „The New Elites (ePub)“
Elites are perennial, George Walden argues. What matters is who they are and ours is the first era in which we are ruled by elites in disguise. Far from being classless as the recent election and fan-treatment of David Cameron shows, or a functioning meritocracy, Britain is dominated by an oligarchy of professional egalitarians. Their aim is not to raise popular aspirations but to exploit mass taste, mass gullibility, or mass spending power for their own advantage. As Walden mercilessly shows in this updated edition of New Elites, their populism is in fact 'a perversion of democracy, the sickness of the age.’
