Elitecraft:Reactionary Fervour, Liberal Myths and a New Left Politics

A radical rethinking of ‘elites’ as ideology and emancipatory alternatives

Elitecraft delivers the first comprehensive analysis of elitism as ideology—revealing how "the elite" became the most powerful political faction of our time. It distinguishes three forms of anti-elitism—emancipatory, liberal, and reactionary—and traces how they developed, converged, and collided after 2008. Most crucially, it reconstructs an emancipatory anti-elitism capable of breaking through liberal complacency and reactionary resentment—one that can anchor a renewed egalitarian, anti-capitalist politics for the twenty-first century.
