>What analysis of elites doesn't include reference to Rupert Murdoch and Charles Koch?

Analysis is a bit generous. It's a retread of some pretty stale ideas. It's flagship idea is a redefinition of the word elite to include "even a college degree holder working at Starbucks".

He doesn't outright say it because it's so transparently self serving but it's very obviously painted.

Rupert Murdoch and Charles Koch would approve.

It's a reactionary piece designed to protect and promote elite power by, in essence, rhetorically disguising it.

It mirrors somewhat the way that "boomer" has cleverly been positioned as a sponge for the post-occupy fury directed at the 1%.
