Interesting. There is a definite case for serious social and other changes to break the power of the 'elites' but there is the danger, as with any system that seeks to include a large number of people, that it seeks to cater for the lowest common denominator and for simplistic solutions. I'm not sure I agree fully with Hofstadter's argument that popularists were only looking backwards to an earlier age that can't be restored. Think there is a lot of prospects for small businesses and inovators if the facilities are then to prevent massive organisations hogging power and wealth. That probably makes me a popularist but I would strongly oppose any suggestion I was racists or sought to discriminate against any groups. [Other than possibly bankers and chief execuatives.  ] |
