"[A] passionate, compelling, and disturbing argument that the ills of democracy in the United States today arise from the default of its elites." —John Gray, New York Times Book Review (front-page review)In a front-page review in the Washington Post Book World, John Judis wrote: "Political analysts have been poring over exit polls and precinct-level votes to gauge the meaning of last November’s election, but they would probably better employ their time reading the late Christopher Lasch’s book." And in the National Review, Robert Bork says The Revolt of the Elites "ran

Political Elites, first published in 1969, reviews the literature on the role of elites in politics. It deals with both the ’classic’ elite theorists -- Mosca, Pareto, Michels, Burnham and C. Wright Mills -- and with many of the empirical and theoretical works on elites by modern political scientists and sociologists. It seeks to clarify the central terms of elite discourse, some of which have entered the everyday political vocabulary -- ’elitism’, ’power elite’, ’establishment’, ’elite consensus’, ’iron law of oligarchy’

Based on the most comprehensive survey ever conducted on elite groups in the U.S., this book draws a fascinating portrait of American leaders, from federal judges and business executives to military officers and motion picture magnates. The authors examine theories of American society and analyze characteristics and differences among elite groups-groups they find sharply divided in complex ways on various issues.

The author examines the cohort of civilian politicians, showing how they adpated to competitive politics after the 1985 regime transition and how the socialization to politics in the 1960s and 1970s shaped their initially negative attitudes toward institution building in the 1980s and 1990s.

Meet the elites. They think you’re stupid. They think all freedom loving Americans are stupid. They think patriotism is stupid. They think churchgoing is stupid. They think flag-flying is stupid. They despise families with more than two children. They are sure that where we live-anywhere but near or in a few major cities-is an insipid cultural wasteland. From environmentalists to Hollywood celebrities to media yuppies, no American elite is safe from the astutely critical eye of Laura Ingraham. In this refreshing book Ingraham probes the condescending elitism of liberals in politics and e
