Description
First published in 1911, this influential book introduces the concept of iron law oligarchy, a fundamental idea in social sciences. Robert Michels' analysis of power structures in organizations such as political parties and trade unions reveals that even the most egalitarian and democratic groups are often dominated by a small group of leadership.
Michels' work, Political Parties, explores the nature of organizations and the ways in which power is exercised within them. This thought-provoking study is a valuable contribution to our understanding of politics and society.
Published in 1968, this edition is a 2nd Free Press Paperback Edition, offering a concise and accessible introduction to Michels' groundbreaking ideas.
