Good description, but I believe key elements of the social (economic & political) system are within the elite's control, even if there is no formal organization for central coordination and control. Consider the Bush tax policies, or the widening gap over the last several decades of income levels between rich and poor. Or, looking at the use of information as an instrument of social control, I'd recommend the article "Information Control for Social Manipulation" at http://www.nexusmagazine.com/articles/InformationControl.html.
