My recent post on “the political class” got some attention from a blogger I quite admire, Fran Poretto of Eternity Road. I don’t know whether I coined the term or heard it somewhere once upon a time, but since my post about it and Fran’s subsequent post linking to it, he has employed the phrase no less than twice in a new series of posts of general political theorizing called “A Little Knowledge”:
Friends of mine who just want to understand my political views, finding them unusual among the groups I tend to be associated with, are advised to check these out for some insight into the conceptual framework behind them. And all are encouraged to spread the phrase/concept of “the political class” far and wide ;)
