Elitism: A Progressive Defence

This important book argues that the real elites escape scrutiny while everything that makes our lives worth living becomes worthy and diluted.

Meanwhile, liberals have lost their nerve, accepting the anti-elitism slur at face value. But social privilege is not the same thing as excellence. For too long conservatives have had a monopoly on upholding standards of beauty and truth. But now that they've become ruthless modernisers, it's time for progressives to take on that task. This book provides the ammunition for a timely rebuttal.
