the recent book by Michael Hartmann entitled "How
the elites endanger democracy" seems to be the european version of
the citation made by a former US Supreme Court judge: "We can have democracy in this country, or we can
have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both"
that was twitted on the 4 of July of 2018, by Berkeley
Professor Robert B. Reich https://pacheco-torgal.blogspot.com/2019/10/the-numbers-of-admissions-in.html
Not to mention the 2018 paper below that has a
interesting title: "Greedy bastards: Testing
the relationship between wanting more and unethical behavior"
