People are frustrated by idiots/people who are intellectually dishonest implementing policy and framing narratives on how society should tackle challenging problems. Many of their making. Think of the kind of mix you have at say the European Commission, the ECB, and the IMF. Then look at what they facilitated in Greece. Onr of deepest and prolonged contractions ever recorded.
There's simply too many people with credentials doing dumb things or being plain evil with zero shame. Eroding faith in institutions through continual incompetence.
Alternatively, think about the US where manufacturing has been hit hard, wages have stagnated, and economic mobility isn't where it needs to be. Health care is taking up too much GDP. College costs are out of control. The retirement system is a big fat joke. These are functions of policy and ideology with an intent to stack the deck. It hasn't always been this way and it's not an accident so many folks are losers.
It's not about control. It's about seeing incompetent people who utterly fail at what they do refusing to retreat, refusing to retract, and doing everything they can to avoid admitting mistakes. The folks who burn the house down think they should stick around and lead the clean up. We've entered a political climate where that can't fly. Thank the irreparable damage from the financial crisis for pushing dummies out and putting who's left in power on defense.
