Elites And Society
Condition remarks:
Condition: Good to fair. Jacket: No dust jacket - paperback. Page Condition: Good - possible tanning. Markings: possible previous owner.
A landmark work in political sociology, Elites and Society by T. B. Bottomore critically examines the theory of elites and its implications for democratic society. Bottomore presents a rigorous analysis of classical elite theorists — including Pareto, Mosca, and Michels — while scrutinizing the broader question of whether ruling minorities are an inevitable feature of all societies. The work argues that elite theory cannot be separated from the political context in which it emerged, drawing connections between sociological thought and real-world structures of power. Accessible yet intellectually rigorous, it remains a foundational text for anyone seeking to understand the relationship between social stratification, power, and democracy.
