My impression is the left tends to focus on economic elites, the right focuses on cultural elites; a modern remix of the old business-equestrians vs. political/agriculture senators nonsense. Both are elites of a sort, using non-elites as a proxies in their status competition.

Does anybody enjoy genuine cultural elite status and not economic elite status though? My inclination is to see "cultural elites" as a slippery category purpose-built to take in a lot of people who actually have little or no power.
