Elites: Architects of Problems and Solutions

Elites, including millionaires and billionaires, often escape accountability for the social issues they contribute to, instead positioning themselves as the architects of solutions. This narrative enables them to maintain their status while directing public attention away from their role in creating these problems. The support structures, such as PR firms and nonprofits, facilitate this process, highlighting how even symbolic capitalists play a critical role in reputation management and financial laundering for the wealthy, further reinforcing the cycle of inequality and power dynamics in society.
