How do you know when you're dealing with an economic snake oil

effete, latte-sipping snob.
Levant is the kind of blatant con-man who leaves the naive observer
perplexed. How does he get away with it? How could anyone swallow such
a load of codswallop? It's actually a rather simple trick. It's called
"complicity." Levant (and his oil corporation sponsors) offers his
dupes the illusion of a piece of the action: "All this will be yours,
suckers, if only you will overlook the environmental consequences and
the cronyism!" Then when he and they don't deliver, the dupes are too
compromised by their complicity to admit that they've been swindled.
