Description

Elites: A General Model by Murray Milner Jr. provides a systematic sociological model of elites and non-elites in recent years. This accessible book outlines a new typology of economic, political, and cultural elites, highlighting the role of non-elites and investigating patterns of cooperation and conflict between elite groups. Milner identifies the sources and structures of economic, political, and cultural power, applying his model to three distinct societies: ancient India, Classical Athens, and the contemporary United States. This analysis reveals important structural commonalities across these diverse societies. A significant contribution to scholarship, Elites is also useful for courses in sociology, political science, and history.
