Description
Elitism A Progressive Defence challenges the conventional wisdom that anti-elitism is a valid critique. Instead, Eliane Glaser argues that the real elites are often overlooked, while those who enrich our lives through culture and education are unfairly maligned.
The book contends that liberals have lost their nerve in the face of anti-elitism, accepting it at face value and worrying about promoting cultural high standards as a means of protecting social privilege. Glaser makes the case for progressives to reclaim this task, arguing that beauty and truth belong to everyone, regardless of wealth or background.
With powerful arguments and ammunition, Elitism A Progressive Defence provides a compelling defence of cultural excellence and the importance of promoting high standards in education and the arts.
