The Consensus in Foreign Policy

There are I think three different levels. There's a small group of elites who have an agenda and then there's the second group which is pretty big. Then on the bottom you have the populace who are somehow persuaded to believe that in following what they're told to do they are good and virtuous and right. And those people make a lot of noise and they exert a lot of social pressure on everyone else even though they don't actually stand to profit financially at all.
