oligarchs

Jeffrey E. Paul’s new book about the authoritarian strain in American academia—including where it came from and what its effects have been, in politics and policy—uses an easily understood, nautical analogy to describe an emerging oligarchy, its financiers, and their role.

Forthcoming book describes strategies oligarchs use to fuse wealth and power, including philanthropy.

And what it may do to us, as well as the elites who created it.
