Votre citation du texte de Brzezinski n’est pas correcte, comme d’ailleurs l’interprétation que vous en faite. En vérité, l’auteur ne préconise pas la domination des élites, il pointe à l’inverse un danger pour la démocratie
page 93
Another threat, less overt but no less basic, confronts liberal democracy. More directly linked to the
impact of technology, it involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled and directed society. Such a
society would be dominated by an elite whose claim to political power would rest on allegedly superior scientific
knowhow.
Unhindered by the restraints of traditional liberal values, this elite would not hesitate to achieve its
political ends by using the latest modern techniques for influencing public behavior and keeping society under
close surveillance and control. Under such circumstances, the scientific and technological momentum of the
country would not be reversed but would actually feed on the situation it exploits.
