In People: The Necessary Evil of the Elite, the veil is lifted on one of history’s oldest and darkest truths: every empire, economy, and institution of power has been built on the backs of ordinary people—seen not as partners in progress, but as tools, resources, and obstacles to be managed.
From ancient kingdoms to modern governments and corporate giants, the elite have crafted systems that keep themselves elevated while keeping the working class dependent, divided, and endlessly productive. To them, “the people” are essential for maintaining wealth and control—but also dangerous enough to be feared, manipulated, and restrained.
This book exposes the repeating cycle of exploitation that shapes civilizations:
how elites consolidate power while appearing benevolent,
how labor is extracted while dignity is denied,
how the masses are blamed for problems they didn’t create,
and how the powerful rewrite history to justify their rule.
Blending historical insight, social analysis, and hard truths, People: The Necessary Evil of the Elite reveals the mechanisms that keep inequality alive—and challenges readers to question the narratives that sustain it.
A compelling look at the relationship between power and the people who sustain it, this book forces us to confront a question long avoided: If the elite cannot exist without the people, why have they always treated them as disposable?
