Lauren, I'd personally love an objective and independent study / essay about the Russian and Chinese elite. The problem will be, I think, finding one that is not tainted by western values and western propaganda. But if you can find one, please post it.
All true about Toynbee, but worth noting that he went rogue in the mid- to late-50s, describing America as the leader of world counter-revolution in a series of lectures in, I dimly recall 1960 or 61. He fell so out of line that the CIA, presumably with the acquiescence of Dick White, his friend, ally & great spook patron, set Hugh Trevor-Ropey upon him in the pages of Encounter (and elsewhere).
HTR subsequently was set to the improbable work of Dallas coup sceptic and champion of Mark Lane. Now there hangs a tale!
"There are three sorts of conspiracy: by the people who complain, by the people who write, by the people who take action. There is nothing to fear from the first group, the two others are more dangerous; but the police have to be part of all three,"
