An important book for our time. The social distance between those in charge and those they are supposed to lead has become so great that they have become simply tone-deaf to the needs of their subordinates. So long as Americans believe in the myth of meritocracy, that the average citizen has the same opportunities as the privileged to be a successful oligarch, there is little chance for equality to be high on their social agenda. The widespread loss of faith in institutions like government, schools, and churches means that the only authoritative voice is the one which gets the most media attention, regardless of its veracity.
