The Aristocracy of Pull

Will Wilkinson writes about how a 31-year-old law school dropout, whose only work experience is as a low-level campaign operative, is now running the U.S. auto industry.

Arnold Kling and David Henderson have more.

I love this observation from the comments on Kling's post:

The Bush administration hired similar young, inexperienced cult followers to manage the redestruction of Iraq. Look at Iraq and see our future.
