This quote suggests that the new aristocracy in society is not based on traditional wealth or inherited status, but rather on professions and roles that hold significant influence and power. The individuals in this new aristocracy belong to fields such as bureaucracy, science, technology, trade unions, publicity, sociology, teaching, journalism, and politics.
