The inspiring mind of Angelo Codevvia has been ripped from us by a drunk driver. The 78-year old was walking when he was allegedly struck by a vehicle and later died to from the injuries.
Codevilla had just recovered from COVID.
If the name is unfamiliar, I’ve referred to him a few times on these pages. He predicted the great cultural divide and the rise of Trump, though not by name. He outlined the why in exquisite detail in the American Spectator (included below) titled America’s Ruling Class and the Perils of Revolution, published July 16th, 2010.
He accurately explains the why of the rise of the Tea Party and the growing disconnect between ordinary everyday folks and those who would rule them.
That was later expanded into the book ‘The Ruling Class.”
In my writing, he is the origin of the terms ruling class and country class.
And that was not the limit of his work or influence, so by all means, find and peruse his works, but I highly recommend the Spectator piece included below and the book “The Ruling Class” inspired by it.
Angelo Codevilla is Dead at the age of 78, and he will be missed.
