It's not just about the "virtue hoarding", another important part of the thesis is that the PMC is responsible for the economic decline/suffering of the labor class, and that they hurt themselves as well in service to the capitalist owner class. She also criticizes rent-seeking. I am not far enough into the book to be an authority, but I think it's interesting
