I'm working to try and break down that sense of that elitism.

There may be a legal rationale for this neo imperial elitism. The so called C 6 might argue that, given their price stability mandate, only central banks of countries whose economic fate might destabilize domestic prices should receive privileged access to domestic currency.

Latin America tried this experiment once already, with many public colleges attempting to deflect accusations of elitism by eliminating entrance examinations and tuition fees in the 1960s. In a region where a university degree had, until then, represented a ticket to the good life, enrollment predictably swelled.

Attacked for being shallow, indiscreet, and flashy by the Hillary camp, he has toned down his revivalist rhetoric, and adopted a more sober, more cautious, more professional air. Yet, by doing so, he may have made himself less popular, and is being accused of elitism to boot.

Their common approach is to enter into a real dialogue with the French people based on an understanding that the only viable basis for reform is a strong political contract between government and citizens. This stands in sharp contrast to the reigns of François Mitterrand and Jacques Chirac, with their elitism, arrogance, paternalism, and stagnation.

Their own development experience makes countries like China, India, and Brazil resistant to market fundamentalism and natural advocates for institutional diversity and pragmatic experimentation. They can build on this experience to articulate a new global narrative that emphasizes the real economy over finance, policy diversity over harmonization, national policy space over external constraints, and social inclusion over technocratic elitism.
