English term or phrase: as of any elite selection

The genuine big bourgeoisie, old or new, therefore had no great difficulty in organizing itself as an elite, since it could use methods very similar to those used by aristocracies, or even - as in Great Britain - the actual mechanisms of aristocracy. Indeed, where possible their aim increasingly was to crown business success by joining the class of the nobility, at least via their sons and daughters, and, if not, at least by an aristocratic lifestyle. It is a mistake to see this simply as an abdication of bourgeois before old aristocratic values. For one thing, socialization through elite (or any) schools had been no more important for traditional aristocracies than for bourgeoisies. Insofar as it became so, as in British 'public schools', it assimilated aristocratic values to a moral system designed for a bourgeois society and for its public service. For another, the test of aristocratic values now increasingly became a profligate and expensive style of life which required above all money, never mind where it came from. Money therefore became its criterion. The genuinly traditional landed nobleman, insofar as he could not maintain such lifestyle and the activities associated with it, found himself exiled into a fading provincial world, loyal, proud but socially marginal, like the characters in Theodore Fontane's 'Der Stechlin' (1895), that powerful elegy on ancient Brandenburg junker values. The big bourgeoisie used the mechanism of aristocracy, as of any elite selection, for its own purposes.

Serbian translation:kao bilo kog izbora elite

Explanation:
... upotrebila je za svoje ciljeve mehanizam aristokratije kao mehanizam bilo kog izbora elite.

Po mehanizmu aristokratičnosti, ljudi su se kvalifikovali kao elita jer "dolaze iz para" a ne zato što su zaslužili mesto među elitnima, tj status je dobio svoju tržišnu vrednost.
