Is the Rise of the Individual the Death of Community?

One of the first books I read in University was John Porter’s "The Vertical Mosaic". I might even have the book somewhere in my library. Porter’s work, if you ever read it, was one of the first studies of the elites in Canada and the effect of immigration on our society and who has power.

Porter concluded that there are elites in Canada who hold power, who continue to hold power and who generally don’t give up power. And those elites don’t change, no matter what, even today.
