Paret's view of the elite is astoundingly similar to that of Wright's and modern day analyses. The revolt against positivism is so cool in that it shows how the fascination with the unconscious (both collectively (Marx & Engels) and individually (Freud)), that as society acted on these ideas and changed them into policy and shaped how people think, neo-idealism emerged which eventually brought us post-modern thinking where the canon is now.
