Synopsis
Best remembered as one of the greatest economists of his age, polymath Vilfredo Pareto was also a sociologist and a pioneer in what is now referred to as elite theory-the idea that rather than history being driven by popular will, it is shaped by an endless cycle of competing elites vying for power within the same closed ecosystem.
In Rise and Fall of the Elites, Pareto offers a sharp, unsentimental anatomy of power. Behind the slogans of democracy, morality, revolution, ideology, and progress, he sees the recurring struggle of elites: ruling minorities who rise, consolidate authority, decay, and are eventually replaced by new contenders who then undergo the same process.
Compact, provocative, and unflinchingly candid, this treatise lays out Pareto's theory of the "circulation of elites" and applies it to the power structures and upheavals of his own age. A foundational text of elite theory, it remains a striking analysis of political power, social change, and the illusions societies tell themselves about who truly rules.
Antelope Hill is proud to present Rise and Fall of the Elites: An Application of Sociological Theories in a new English translation. This is a work of true historic importance, indispensable for the understanding of historical processes and political theory, which remains just as insightful and pertinent in today's world as when it was written.
