The Rise and Fall of the Elite

There are some beacons of hope in the historical record, which shine out as examples of the fact that inequality doesn't have to lead to dominance. And the one to me that perhaps shines brightest is Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

But Peter's insight is the conflict actually arises within the elite itself.
