The old system was that a local lord would meet mostly with supplicants - his clients but now the bureaucracy deals with the supplicants and the patrons only meet with each other and see each other. Qualitative change.
How does your question apply here? Lords now can get income from people the way they get meat from chickens - totally impersonally - and deal only with other lords. This is a huge change that leads to different organizational forms.

They fail upward, watch each other's backs, can only hear one another (when anonymous racist twitter got ncov right "no one got it right" b/c they can only hear each other), etc. It's not about the things that money buys it's about the things it can't.https://twitter.com/CovfefeAnon/status/1349564725307301892 …
