You appear to be alluding to James Scott’s "Against The Grain". I do not agree with the hypothesis of that book, for reasons I'm too lazy to write down here. Sorry :-(

If you have links to well-informed disagreements with that, I'd be interested to read them.

All I can offer you is the comments section of Scott Alexander's book review:

The comments there are generally of high quality, and you'll find some good counterpoints to the book's claims.
