Public distrust of elites is a global issue, intensified by political turmoil worldwide. Dr. Tomas Casas i Klett's groundbreaking study meticulously grades the quality of national elites across 151 nations, offering a forensic look at their impact.

The study reveals surprising rankings, like the UK at No. 8 despite recent struggles, and the US's significant slide to No. 15. Crucially, it shows diverse governance models, including repressive ones like Singapore and China, can achieve similar positive outcomes in prosperity.

This research urges less complacency and a pragmatic approach to national welfare, challenging ideological views. Dr. Casas i Klett's unique global perspective provides essential insights into who truly rules and for whose benefit.
