“‘We live in the age of the revolt against the elites,’ writes Hugo Drochon in his new insightful book Elites and Democracy, summarizing the strides made by populist forces, on the right and on the left, in the West and beyond, in the last decade. The paradox, he observes, is that while populist leaders all reject the elite, they themselves are often part of the elites, either economic or political. Modern politics is thus best understood as the process of one elite replacing another. This basic insight opens up a perspective on the relationship between elites and democracy, which Drochon theorizes with the aid of twentieth-century political thought.” (02/24/26)
