The Mindcrime Liberty Show (Swithun Dobson and Tim Patton) is joined by "elite intellectual" Keith Preston to discuss whether a society without elites. What exactly are elites and do they occur in most societies? Is there such a thing as a non-exploitative “elite”? Is Hayek right in why the worst get on top? If having power over others is the defining feature of elites what exactly is the power that they have? Where does that power come from? Do democracies create worse elites than autocracies or monarchies? Are elites a kind of category of people or are they merely the result of the system? Are first generation elites more innovative and dynamic than later iterations of elites?
