The classic work in that space is Thomas Sowell’s The Vision of the Anointed. I recommend it highly. Written in the mid-90s, it is still very, very much applicable today.
The Vision of the Anointed: Self-Congratulation as a Basis for Social Policy

I agree with you on ‘Vision of the Annointed’. It is a classic, and -ought- be a textbook for a real education, as opposed to university indoctrination.
