Description
The Privileged Few by Clive Hamilton and Myra Hamilton explores how elite privilege has become an organising principle for society. Despite declining male and white privilege, the rich and powerful have strengthened their advantages, causing widespread harm through everyday slights and distortions in the labour market. The authors examine the practices and processes that sustain elite privilege, including exclusive private schools, and reveal how these institutions perpetuate inequality. Through a wide range of topics, from philanthropy to super-yachts, they expose the ways in which elites maintain their power and status. This book provides a detailed analysis of the micropolitics of elite privilege, shedding light on the complex systems that underpin social inequality.
