Privilege by Ross Douthat

Harvard and the Education of the Ruling Class

A candid memoir and cultural critique that interweaves personal anecdotes from an elite university with broader analysis of how American institutions groom a ruling class, arguing that prestige, social networks, secularized moral frameworks, and ideological conformity combine to reproduce privilege and distance elites from democratic accountability while eroding spiritual seriousness and civic responsibility.
