520    "Aeron Davis takes a close look at the state of elites 
       today. He argues that the Brexit vote and 2017 election 
       outcome are signs of a deeper leadership crisis that has 
       been developing over decades. The great transformations of
       the 1980s onwards have not only upended societies, they 
       have reshaped elite rule itself. Too many leaders today, 
       regardless of intent, are ignorant, precarious, rootless 
       and self-serving. Although richer, they have lost 
       coherence, influence and control. Increasingly, they are 
       just reckless opportunists, getting what they can amid the
       chaos they have created. Their failings are not only 
       damaging wider society, they are undermining the very 
       foundations of the Establishment itself. The book, based 
       on interviews with over 350 elite figures, asks: how did 
       we end up producing the leaders that got us here and what 
       can we do about it?"--Publisher's description.
