It's important not to overstate things. At it's most strong form, the critique that I'm coming to understand is simply that after the world war, mechanisms of industrial prosperity were set up that are now at full throttle, mostly for the good, but occasionally going a bit out of the furrow. Additionally, the generation that built these mechanisms perhaps understood its own children very well, so these machines and social forms are, to a large degree, idiot-proof. And, perhaps because of this, some very craven and corrupt people are now controlling some of these mechanisms and forms, both large and small.
