Beskrivelse af The Privileged Few
YiwuInvisible Warfare9781509562947 YiwuWuhan9781509562992 Male and white privilege are on the decline, yet elite privilege has gone from strength to strength. The privileges enjoyed by the rich and powerful are not only unfair but cause widespread harm, from the everyday slights and humiliations visited on those lower down to the distortions in the labour market when elites use their networks to secure plum jobs, not least in new domains like professional sports. In this book, Clive Hamilton and Myra Hamilton show that elite privilege is not a mere by-product of wealth but an organising principle for society as a whole. They explore the practices and processes that sustain, legitimise and reproduce elite privilege, and show how we are all implicated in the system, both facilitating it and tolerating its harmful effects.Building on their original fieldwork and a wide range of other sources, the authors paint a vivid picture of the micropolitics of elite privilege, highlighting in particular the vital role played by exclusive private schools. Ranging across topics as diverse as 'glamour suburbs, ' philanthropy, Rhodes scholarships and super-yachts, The Privileged Few gets beneath attempts at concealment to expose how the elites keep getting away with it.
