Christopher Lasch: The Revolt of the Elites (1)

Historian Christopher Lasch predicted our current social divisions and political problems. Lasch didn't please liberals or conservatives, but his point of view is sorely needed today. This is the beginning of a series of videos on his final book, The Revolt of the Elites and the Betrayal of Democracy (1994). Lasch is probably most famous for a prior book, The Culture of Narcissism, but this final book best exemplifies his mature political thought.
