[A] The rise of the Political Class whose only training and experience is in Politics and who have become detached from the population at large, and who seem to loath and despise the lower social classes.
[B] The rise of the professional adminstrative class (eg the UK Civil Service and Brussels officialdom) who operate with very little oversight, whose members enjoy far better employment conditions than the population at large, who reward themselves hefty bonuses, irrespective of performance. And who show some symptoms of regarding the population at large as The Enemy.
I think that both [A] and [B] contain the seeds of their own destruction as things that cannot last forever - either because of the rise of Donald Trumps or because of financial implosion.
Yes.
I see two things that are insidious:
[A] The rise of the Political Class whose only training and experience is in Politics and who have become detached from the population at large, and who seem to loath and despise the lower social classes.
[B] The rise of the professional adminstrative class (eg the UK Civil Service and Brussels officialdom) who operate with very little oversight, whose members enjoy far better employment conditions than the population at large, who reward themselves hefty bonuses, irrespective of performance. And who show some symptoms of regarding the population at large as The Enemy.
