The Uncivil War : How a New Elite is Destroying Our Democracy
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The New Elite are the self-proclaimed smartest people in the land, a test-score meritocracy that believes the consent of the governed has been made obsolete by th SAT. Lebedoff says the real fight is between those who believe in majority rule and those who believe in rule by experts.
From the Publisher
This controversial book describes how the New Elite-a self selected class whose members believe they know what's good for the rest of us-has been systematically attacking our tradition of majority rule. The capture of our political parties by extremists, campaigns based on anger rather than issues, laws created by unelected judges, congressmen immune from defeat, and an alienated and ignored electorate all represent a calculated effort of a new class to replace the public will with its own.
