Here is an excerpt of Chris Hayes' book for anyone interested: http://www.thenation.com/article/168265/why-elites-fail

I think David Brooks is over-summarizing Hayes' thesis and also making it sound like he is interested in violent overthrow of "the elites" by comparing him to the French Revolution.

Thanks for that. Hayes' actual arguments are much more subtle and thoughtful than Brooks gives them credit for.

That seems to be true for any subject Brooks writes about.
