' A thesis of the article is to the effect that the elites are anti-democratic because they want to protect their status in society and execute power.'

That tends to be the nature of the beast in many ways. Various industries use regulator capture to gain the upper-hand and attack entrepreneurs or start ups that shake up the system.

Politicians stand by farm subsidies, welfare, tax breaks for certain groups or units, etc. That is just to gain favor and remain in power.
