Sociologia das elites

Synopsis of Sociologia das elites

In 'Sociologia das elites', Jacques Coenen-Huther explores the complex nature of elites in contemporary society. Building on the classic investigations of authors such as Pareto, Mosca, Michels, Bourdieu, and Mills, the author questions the supposed heterogeneity of elites and analyzes how concepts like power, wealth, and notoriety define social preeminence in a world where equality has become a dominant value. This work is a fundamental reference for understanding power dynamics and social structure.
