But is it really "elite", or just title inflation?
The world is full of "product managers" and such, who aren't really "managers" in the sense of managing any subordinates.
- bediger4000 5y agoin the context of Turchin's elite overproduction, it doesn't matter. Elite overproduction means that way too many of the elite (upper crust, or aristocrats, or wealthy, or whatever other distinction makes up the elite) exist, and more come on-line at all time. The extra "manager" titles come from the need to give the extra elite members money, status, etc. It's not the title that makes one elite, it's that the elite get the titles.
