The New Global Elite Have No Nationality

This is a longer version of a previous post that describes the denationalization of the new elite .The Russian oligarch has more in common with George Soros than he does with his own countrymen. They see themselves as members of a global elite that share a common culture and a common set of interests. This raises questions regarding their lack of concern for the plight of those who are bounded geographically. Unlike Ayn Rand's hero John Galt, they do not isolate themselves in a specific location they tend to isolate themselves by ideology.
