Ebook About Following a remarkable epoch of greater dispersion of wealth and opportunity, we are inexorably returning towards a more feudal era marked by greater concentration of wealth and property, reduced upward mobility, demographic stagnation, and increased dogmatism. If the last seventy years saw a massive expansion of the middle class, not only in America but in much of the developed world, today that class is declining and a new, more hierarchical society is emerging.The new class structure resembles that of Medieval times. At the apex of the new order are two classes—a reborn clerical elite, the clerisy, which dominates the upper part of the professional ranks, universities, media and culture, and a new aristocracy led by tech oligarchs with unprecedented wealth and growing control of information. These two classes correspond to the old French First and Second Estates.Below these two classes lies what was once called the Third Estate. This includes the yeomanry, which is made up largely of small businesspeople, minor property owners, skilled workers and private-sector oriented professionals. Ascendant for much of modern history, this class is in decline while those below them, the new Serfs, grow in numbers—a vast, expanding property-less population.The trends are mounting, but we can still reverse them—if people understand what is actually occurring and have the capability to oppose them.Book The Coming of Neo-Feudalism: A Warning to the Global Middle Class Review :
While the premise of the book is certainly true - Feudalism IS coming, if not already here - Kotkins conclusions lambast a fictional ruling class of “social justice and climate change elites” in a loosely strung together right-wing tirade lamenting the loss of Judeo-christian “Western Values” and the coming of a “Leftist Ruling Elite.”It’s quite unfortunate since I had a lot of very high expectations for this book, but it falls short of being intellectually honest nearly every sense because it fails to ask a fundamental question: Why?He laments that “expanded opportunity“ (capitalism, but by his weird logical extension, Democracy) is in decline and the youngest generation are certain to destroy it. But WHY are so many young people disillusioned with capitalism? Could it be because our entire lives have been marked by economic crises caused by big banks and corporations (who are all headed by conservative republicans and run like Soviet Gulags) have failed to produce any semblance of upward mobility for us? I don’t see a left wing climate change hollywood elite conspiracy here, Joel. It’s dishonest for you to imply otherwise.He decries the “Church is Social Justice” (without going into any detail as to what that means) for addressing issues like climate, economic, and racial justice. No idea why advocating to not expand the livelihoods of our most historically disenfranchised is the hill Joel wants to die on, but ok. Moreover, why does he consistently put white privilege in quotation marks? Does he, a white man, mean to say that it doesn’t exist and that racial equity couldn’t get any better in the US? This whole book reads like some Gen Z twitter account with an anime avatar said “Ok, Boomer” to Joel and he got really really mad.He points out that in universities, newsrooms, studios, and board rooms, big scary are leftists are shaping the global agenda. He even likens “left-wing” journalism to “truth decay” all while carefully omitting the overwhelming evidence of right and far-right conservative groups using deceptive tactics like Deep Fakes, Bots, Astroturfing, Sensationalism and “Alternative Facts” to advance their agenda. I challenge him to look at the top 10 most shared Facebook posts of the week (doesn’t matter any week, it’s true all the time) and tell me how many posts are from right or far-right groups. How’s that “social media is silencing conservatives” argument going? I’m tired of typing and giving this book any more mind that it deserves. Have a nice day, Joel.TL;DR: This book is trash. Go read something from Haymarket Books. This is one of the most important current affairs books I've read in the last few years. The author, a demographer and geographer, writes from an old-school liberal perspective rather than from the conservative or libertarian viewpoints that one might expect from a publication at Encounter.He foresees a small transnational tech/platform creator caste running our lives, supported by a clerisy of journalists, academics, and "helping professions" (besides the engineers that make it happen). The middle class will be hollowed out further and further, with a few joining the ranks of the lower clerisy and many more becoming gig-economy "precariat". At the bottom, the ranks of those living off public assistance will continue to grow.The ubiquitous control that tech platforms allow (cf. what is happening in China now) is admittedly counteracted to some degree by the relative ease with which alternative news and opinion can be spread on the 'net.Dr. Kotkin recognizes that, like the nobility and clergy of old, the interests of oligarchy and clerisy today may not be identical --- and that in some instances, at least, the oligarchy pays mere lip service (or indulgences) to clerisy interests while continuing to pursue other policies out of individual or collective self-interest. The Davoisie is not going to give up private jet travel for the sake of the environment...He recognizes that at least some parts of the oligarchy (not all) regard "Brave New World" (if not quite "1984") as a howto-manual rather than a cautionary tale, and notes the thinly veiled (or overt) admiration of many parts of the oligarchy and clerisy alike for the dystopian Chinese regime.But the book's message is not "we are doomed" but "wake up, we can still stop this".
