I think the WEF (World Economic Forum) is who I think of when I think of "the elites.". They have Xi Jinping give key notes and most recently had Henry Kissinger debate Soros over what to do with Ukraine at their annual private jet fueled get together in Davos. Many major government leaders like Trudeau are listed on their website as "WEF Young Global Leaders.". Vladimir Putin was even in there, but his page got deleted when the Ukraine war started. I struggled through Klaus Schwab's "Covid-19: The Great Reset." Klaus talks about Degrowth as a future economic model. He also talks about the Doughnut which is the gap between abject poverty and the limits of the Earth's resources as determined by earth system scientists that everyone must live between. He also says that workers will not be advantaged due to large numbers of them dying during COVID as they were advantaged after the bubonic plague because they will be replaced with automation. I'll say that none of their programs and goals would be benefited by there being more people around.
