Description
Beyond the Ruling Class: Strategic Elites in Modern Society Suzanne Keller's seminal work explores the role of influential minorities in shaping society. First published in 1963, this groundbreaking study examines the nature and impact of strategic elites, including their social origins, rise to power, and influence on the social order. Drawing on a range of theoretical perspectives and empirical data from various countries, Keller presents a comprehensive framework for understanding these elite groups. The book systematically surveys the characteristics and activities of different types of elites, including those in politics, economics, culture, and more. A thought-provoking analysis that will appeal to scholars and researchers in fields such as sociology, politics, and history.
