So did all the barriers to mobility in our ossified class society.
If immobility meant that middle class kids wouldn't get ahead, it also meant that their kids wouldn't fall behind.
So we created an American aristocracy composed of the members of the well-credentialised, liberal elite atop the greasy pole, a privileged group that Christopher Lasch and before him Milovan Djilas called the New Class.
The New Class isn't the super wealthy top 0.1 percent of earners, who are surprisingly egalitarian and have pulled themselves up by their bootstraps.
Like all aristocrats, the New Class defends its privileges as the consequence of fixed and unchangeable laws of nature.
If we've become an aristocracy, it's because of the artificial and unjust rules and institutions that have created a class society, and these include the broken schools and regulatory barriers that liberals support.
The Frankfurt School's critique of America has gone mainstream and been taken up by the New Class.
