Having worked in some elite circles, it is surprising how compliant we can be in supporting the idea of privilege. I worked with secretaries and admin supporting DAVOS participants. We used to joke, 'Let the hunger games begin' as the event opened, but I do wonder now how much our quiet, inward cynism versus our outward agreeable support contributed to the issue of inequality. I don't think it would have changed much, but....I can't say. I never bothered to try to have an honest conversation with a member of the leadership. There is some interesting research discussed on this Hidden Brain episode that recalls some of my experience: https://hiddenbrain.org/podcast/money-2-0-the-rich-and-the-rest-of-us/
