W W Norton & Co Inc, January 1996. Paper Back. New. In <i>The Revolt of the Elites</i>, Lasch argues that democracy is not threatened by the masses, but by the elites, mobile and global in their outlook, refusing to accept limits or ties to nation and place. Isolated in networks and enclaves, they abandon the class and betray the democracy they purport to champion. Throughout his work, Lasch's bracing, penetrating and unabashedly moral mind allows us to witness the true illnesses of our age, while prescribing, by example, the cure: ''The best defense against the terrors of existence are the homely comforts of love, work and family life, which connect us to a world that is independent of our wishes yet resounds to our needs.'' It is indeed a shame that Lasch can no longer continue to respond to the needs our culture has become too self-reflexive to know they have.
