McKinsey, technocratic management, and structural inequality

The lionization of middle management is a bit off putting, but there is definitely an interesting point in there about the centralization of decision making and power, and how it has affected society.

I don't have the data to back this up (yet), but I suspect that the gutting of middle management disproportionately affected smaller cities and towns, and the elimination of those mid tier management jobs deprived those cities of thier elite classes.
