«What we have is a compounded problem, in which people with generational wealth pull the levers on a society that they don’t understand.» This is by no means a new issue, nor one that is specific to one particular country. What this essay makes clear, though, is that it’s more pressing than ever that we confront the issue. I would push back that it partly falls into the trap of the right-wing narrative of «out-of-touch elites», but I still took away a lot to ponder.
