Abstract

Abstract ‘Liberal elitism’ is mostly a derogatory term. In this country such British institutions as the Guardian newspaper, the Anglican hierarchy, do gooders associated with universities and the media-the ‘liberal establishment’-stand accused of it. Or more accurately, they used to be accused of it. There is an analogous stream of criticism in the United States. It often comes from the free-market populist Right. But it can also come from the Left insofar as that dons a populist mantle; though in the past left-wing movements in politics inherited, from the European and particularly German response to the enlightenment, a substantive non-populist legacy in their conceptions of the good society and the developed human life.
