The observation that what looks like mysterious agreement across institutions is actually the predictable result of shared interests, common training, and aligned incentives—all operating openly. Where conspiracy theorists imagine
secret coordination, Consensus by
Power sees the normal functioning of
elite networks: similar backgrounds, similar educations, similar social circles, similar interests producing similar conclusions without any need for

Consensus by Power (Opposite of Conspiracy Theory) "Both parties agree on the fundamentals of economic policy. Conspiracy theorists imagine
secret meetings. Consensus by Power says: they all went to the same schools,
read the same
books, take the same donors, move in the same circles. No conspiracy needed—just shared interests producing shared conclusions, openly."
