Typical "progressive" clinging to ideas nearly a century old.
The herd of citizens must be governed by a specialized class whose interests reach beyond the locality." This class is composed of experts, specialists and bureaucrats. The experts, who often are referred to as "elites," were to be a machinery of knowledge that circumvents the primary defect of democracy, the impossible ideal of the "omnicompetent citizen".
-Walter Lippman 1925
