This book gives explanations for the growing gap in wealth and
income and the rise of anti-democratic movements. The power of the
elites today is supposedly founded on merit (education,
intelligence etc.), but a closer look shows that a well-marked-out
pool is just self-re-producing. The power these in-groups wield
often leads to moral insensibility, made worse by a condescending
attitude towards people further down the food chain. The
pre-dominance of the model of the nation-state, with its centralism
and top-down structure, is one of the roots of this problem, as is
the lack of comparisons and value judgements; examples from
transport and urbanism show that they are possible. The deplorable
situation is made worse by the "anti-"social-media scuppering open
and productive discussions.
