Mostafa,
Your Elections essay goes to the very heart of the malaise caused by the increasing disparity of opportunity, of education and of income in most, if not all, countries.
Once again, the individuals who have the power to remedy this disparity are the same who have little or no interest in changing the situation, at least in the short term.
Along these lines, I ran yesterday into a quotation, from an unknown author since it must go back a long, long time: “When you are accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.”
Jean-Michel
