New York Post Reports: Corporations, billionaires and celebrities are all shrill champions of social justice causes — so why haven’t the problems been solved?

That’s the central question that sociologist Musa Al-Gharbi aims to answer in his book “We Have Never Been Woke: The Cultural Contradictions of a New Elite,” out October 8.

“There are social movements that are happening at the local level all around the country to pass different kinds of legislation to address problems in concrete, successful and useful ways,” Al-Gharbi told The Post. “But the problem is a lot of times they become nationalized into a popular cause of elites — and then they stop being successful.”

Al-Gharbi, a professor of journalism, communication and sociology at Stony Brook University, explores how society’s elites are able to square idealistic notions of social justice with the rising economic inequality baked into their lives — and why they trip over themselves to champion the downtrodden.

He pinpoints the emerging knowledge economy class he calls “symbolic capitalists” — academics, consultants, journalists, administrators, lawyers, people who work in finance and tech — for perpetuating this hypocrisy.

“The people who work in these fields today are most likely to self-identify as anti-racists or feminists or environmentalists and so on,” he explained. “You’d expect that, as these people have grown in power and influence, you would see inequalities shrinking, social problems being resolved, greater trust in institutions — but instead you see just the opposite.
