Favouring of those in the upper echelons of society (7)

I believe the answer is:

elitism

(Other definitions for elitism that I've seen before include "going for the best" , "Exclusive attitude" , "Government by select group" , "Wanting the best" , "Superior attitude of those in power" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
