That is a very sharp observation, and not a specific one I'd encountered, despite reading a lot of similar critiques of modern liberal democracies and their emphasis on managerial expertise over traditional political ways of settling things.
If you haven't read N.S. Lyons's "The China Convergence," it's a very good (though very long) discussion of managerialism and how it tends to converge on similar approaches, even in ostensibly opposed political systems: https://theupheaval.substack.com/p/the-china-convergence
