”A billion to Notre-Dame; nothing for Les Misérables.”
The last few weeks have Yellow västarnas slogans written themselves. Miljardärerna has climbed on each other to contribute to the cathedral’s reconstruction, and many wonder why the same readiness to intervene, for the poor of the country. But to the poor, such as Édouard Louis writes in the current ”Who killed my father”, not even afford the medications.
the Problem is in part optically. Notre-Dames sprout appeared from the whole of Paris, while the poor long ago been crowded out to betongväven that surround the city. Not strange in that case to Christophe Guilluy, the researcher is considered to have predicted the Yellow vests, is precisely the geographer. In a couple of decades, he has studied the klassklyftornas spatial extent.
also in English: ”Twilight of the elites”. Where he asks how the richest percent managed to win the parliamentary hearing for all tax cuts and privatisations, that led to this ”elite dawn”. The answer he finds in a privileged collection of attacks in the upper middle class who also got to warm the cheeks in the morning sun.
His anger is holy to these bobos, ”bourgeois bohemians”, who say they love multiculturalism, but put the children in white private school. That puckering the forehead of segregation but convert their rental properties to condominiums. Love the rust and ruffet in the former working class area, so long as the ”stöket” do not stay.
This cultural criticism leads partly brings to mind the sociologist Pierre Bourdieu. In the 1970s, he showed how the French bourgeoisie finkulturella interests also made it seem more civilized, and therefore more deserving of their wealth.
the Analysis was not immediately transferable to Sweden, where class and educational gaps were smaller, and the Swedish sphere thus not as educated.

another. According to the OECD, a highly pro-market institution, has skolvalet not only plunged the Swedish school system in a freefall in terms of results, but also transformed it into an engine for inequality. (Economic Surveys: Sweden”, in march 2019.) And the journal of Architecture shows in its lyxnummer (2/2019) how Stockholm comes only with the rich in mind, while the city cleaners and the kitchen staff are forced to commute increasingly longer.
We intend to us often this geographical abrasion as one between town and country, but the concepts of risk of errors, then France (80 per cent) and Sweden (87 per cent) is almost completely urbanized.
Christophe Guilluy talking, therefore, about metropolisering, if the concentration of higher education, skilled occupations and functioning of the infrastructure in the big cities. Where are concentrated also the power, and the lord mayor were, therefore, increasingly the state and to cooperate on issues like global warming. According to Guilluy, we can be on your way towards the medieval city-states again.

among other things, devoted to ”La France périphérique” from 2014 consists of urban environments without the opportunities, and not of the countryside. The latter he sees as an ideological tool, which transforms the geographical divisions based on class to a conflict between open cities and retrograde bonnhålor. (For example, the mayor of London Sadiq Khan explained Brexit.)
When the margin is now flooding into the French metropolis with its splendid vests, so has Emmanuel Macron has become a perfect representative for such a progressive elitism.
The economic injustices that Christophe Guilluy describes is now a reality even in Sweden. As Kristina Lindquist pointed out on these pages (16/4) so is the difference in life expectancy between highly educated in Danderyd, sweden, and the low-skilled in Vårby gård 18 years. Democratic party slays, which would be impossible without an ideology that says that it is fair so.

the prophets are based Guilluy often their predictions on the vagueness of, and their comfort in conspiracies. As the chief enemy, proclaim he ”globalisation”, nittiotalsdoftande enough defined that open capitalism, despite the fact that our period of globalization, led by the authoritarian rather than the liberal leader.
And his bobo-bashande is tiresome generalities. He mentions that fotbollsplåtar gone up in price since the middle class started to take an interest, which has pushed aside the traditional knegarpubliken. An excellent observation of something that can be solved with subsidised tickets, but Guilluy would rather pacify the working class culture – which is a bit like Mexico in the protest themselves would build a wall against the united states.
The football stadium, or the clubs that play arbetarmusik that house, should, rather, praise for to still let the groups meet – especially when the school ceased to be such a place. The result is, paradoxically, to Guilluy, like Sweden’s hipsterismkritiker, encourages klassmässig isolation. How should solidarity be able to occur?

Christophe Guilluy in vänsterpopulistisk spirit to point out an opponent in order to clarify the policy konfliktlinjer. However, the question is whether it would not be wiser to focus on the richest percentage.
For the sympathy for the weak, who are found in many bobos comes to, in many cases, even the working class; just look at the strong support for progressive taxation and welfare in Silicon Valley. As care looks now, it is no wonder that many people prefer the private alternative, but one might win over the rich for a renovation?
The upper middle class is not the clear winner that Guilluy argues, especially not in the long term. Economics professor Richard Baldwin argues even in ”The globotics upheaval” (2019) that the AI soon taken over all professions, which is from our hands, and brains – the left are those that require a heart.

comforting. More and more challenges are common, especially as although the planet is about to burn up. On the same day as the Notre-Dame cathedral was in flames, put the Emmanuel Macron in his speech to the Yellow vests. Perhaps he estimated in secret for a fire, he knew how to extinguish.
