The Revolt of the Elites

Found on the bookshelf in the PPSIS Library. Looked interesting

Overview

 * Author Christopher Lasch updates the 1932 text "The Revolt of the Masses" by contending that a rising upper middle class is more interested in the International world of business, culture, politics and finance than nationality. This group, a "creative" elite as much as a financial "elite" finds itself forsaking its role in American (or indeed any) national discussion/project. Begs the question, are we at the end of the nation
