Description
The Coming of Neo-Feudalism: A Warning to the Global Middle Class A new era of social hierarchy is emerging, marked by increased concentration of wealth and property, reduced upward mobility, and demographic stagnation. The middle class, once a cornerstone of modern society, is declining, and a more feudal system is taking shape. At the top of this new order are two distinct classes: the clerisy, a reborn elite dominating the upper ranks of professionals, media, and culture, and a new aristocracy led by tech oligarchs with unprecedented wealth and control of information. Below these two classes lies the yeomanry, a group of small businesspeople, minor property owners, skilled workers, and private-sector professionals who were once ascendant but are now in decline. In contrast, a vast, expanding property-less population is growing in numbers, threatening the very foundations of modern society. This book warns of the dangers of neo-feudalism and offers a vision for reversing these trends.
