@drgrist You can find arguments in Willmoore Kendall & Hayek on why folk wisdom is more to be trusted than expertise.
@jonwinsor Concept of "New Class" actually rooted in inter-Trotskyist debates of late 1930s (LT, Rizzi, Burnham, etc.) @davidfrum

@HeerJeet@davidfrum There's an essay on its origins in this book on the New Class published in the late 70's: http://books.google.com/books?id=k059GvpI9tgC&pg=PA1&lpg=PA1&dq=New+class+bruce+briggs&source=bl&ots=7YlnBS_S0n&sig=wO1Gzh9ruUQWMunnycDG6cqICyo&hl=en&sa=X&ei=VltzVMGADqPpiQKp-IGoCQ&ved=0CCcQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=New%20class%20bruce%20briggs&f=false … -
@jonwinsor That's an okay essay but will be superceded by Christopher Phelps work.

@HeerJeet@davidfrum Its origins are murky because there are at least two threads. There's Burnham, but also Trilling's "Adversary Culture." -
