This book deals with the reception of Italian elitism in the United
States, identifying its key protagonists, phases, and themes. It
starts from the reconstruction of the scientific and political
debates aroused in the United States by the works of Mosca, Pareto,
and Michels, and moves on to define their theoretical influence in
the American scientific and academic contexts. The analysis takes
into consideration the period from the first contact between
elitists and American academia in the early 1920s to the
publication of The Power Elite by Mills, in 1956, which marks the
emancipation of American elitism. After introducing the fundamental
principles of elite theory, the first part of the study
reconstructs the debate that it aroused beyond the Atlantic. The
second part examines the original American reworking of the elitist
lesson, concentrating on the works of the authors most strongly
influenced by it: Joseph A. Schumpeter, Harold D. Lasswell, and
Charles W. Mills. The book aims to shed light on the contribution
of Italian elitism to the development of American political
thought.
