Part 2/7:
Proponents of globalized capitalism, many of whom now anchor their wealth in the upper echelons of society, express a disillusionment with traditional democratic frameworks. They argue that what was pursued by previous generations—a society defined by equal opportunity and civil rights—has not yielded the expected fruits of equality in outcomes. There’s a prevailing sentiment among this class that democracy is failing them because they believe it continues to harbor dissent. In their vision of a perfected society, any opposition is seen as an obstacle rather than a healthy perspective.
