摘要
当选美国总统正成为某些有权有势家族后代们的特权,在社会其他方面情况也一样,在经济、新闻、电影和电视等多种领域,家族继承大有取代自由竞争的架势。这种新的世袭关系被称做“新裙带政治”或“新世袭政治”,这种政治形式正渐渐成为美国制衡精英政治的法宝之一。
An elite that regards itself as fit to rule by virtue of its merit owes no gratitude or deference to anyone. It has no ethical tie to the mass of ordinary people, and is therefore unresponsive to their needs. The Americans spent two centuries trying to get nepotism out of government, but meritocracy unleavened by nepotism lacks a necessary humanizing element.
