The Revolt of the Elites and the Betrayal of Democracy Paperback - 1996

by Christopher Lasch

In this spirited work, Lasch calls out for a return to community, schools that teach history not self-esteem, and a return to morality and even the teachings of religion. Writing in a nonpartisan manner, he looks to lessons of American history, castigating those in power for the widening gap between the economic classes.

Description:
W W Norton & Co Inc, January 1996. Paper Back. New. In <i>The Revolt of the Elites</i>, Lasch argues that democracy is not threatened by the masses, but by the elites, mobile and global in their outlook, refusing to accept limits or ties to nation and place. Isolated in networks and enclaves, they abandon the class and betray the democracy they purport to champion. Throughout his work, Lasch's bracing, penetrating and unabashedly moral mind allows us to witness the true illnesses of our age, while prescribing, by example, the cure: ''The best defense against the terrors of existence are the homely comforts of love, work and family life, which connect us to a world that is independent of our wishes yet resounds to our needs.'' It is indeed a shame that Lasch can no longer continue to respond to the needs our culture has become too self-reflexive to know they have.
