Elite Envy
The Remnant with Jonah Goldberg
Unpacking Societal Inequities
This chapter explores the evolution of knowledge-based professions from post-World War I to the present, focusing on their paradoxical relationship with social inequalities. It examines the failures of elite 'symbolic capitalists' in addressing societal issues, arguing that despite their resources, wealth distribution remains largely ineffective. The discussion also highlights the systemic challenges in wealth transfer, the complexities of labor exploitation, and critiques narratives surrounding meritocracy and elite influence on social change.
