Author Will Banyan has written an excellent example of power elite analysis, “The Quiet Globalist: John C. Whitehead (1922-2015).” For years on LRC, in articles and blogs, I have repeatedly emphasized the necessity of such power elite analysis. An understanding of Libertarian Class Analysis is the “litmus test” separating real libertarians from alternative lifestyle dilettantes dabbling in free market theory. Sometimes labeled “power elite analysis” or “Establishment Studies,” this examination of causal relationships regarding the nature and scope of political power, who has it and how it is exercised, is crucial to understanding the nexus between the Deep State and organized crime. Researcher Peter Dale Scott calls “Deep Politics,” the critical examination of the sub-rosa reality behind surface events, an attempt to unmask the true face of power, exposing the elite social, economic, and financial groups and individuals who benefit from the exercise of State coercion.
