In Defense of Elitism
Politics
A Pulitzer-winning Time cultural editor's 1994 polemic against the unexamined cult of egalitarianism — the argument that a society that refuses to acknowledge excellence, hierarchy, and the cost of difficulty pays for it in mediocrity. Şengör cites the book as one of the cleanest English-language statements of the position he defends in Turkey: every society without elitism collapses.

“Elitizmin olmadığı her toplum çöker.”
Şengör cites Henry's 1994 polemic as one of his core sources for the position he defends in his own book Aptalı Tanımak — that ignorant egalitarianism is fatal and that every society without an elite collapses.
