Since the financial crisis, the issue of the 'one percent' has
become the centre of intense public debate, unavoidable even for
members of the elite themselves. Moreover, inquiring into elites
has taken centre-stage once again in both journalistic
investigations and academic research. New Directions in Elite
Studies attempts to move the social scientific study of elites
beyond economic analysis, which has greatly improved our knowledge
of inequality, but is restricted to income and wealth. In contrast,
this book mobilizes a broad scope of research methods to uncover
the social composition of the power elite - the 'field of power'.
It reconstructs processes through which people gain access to
positions in this particular social space, examines the various
forms of capital they mobilize in the process - economic, but also
cultural and social capital - and probes changes over time and
variations across national contexts. Bringing together the most
advanced research into elites by a European and multidisciplinary
group of scholars, this book presents an agenda for the future
study of elites. It will appeal to all those interested in the
study of elites, inequality, class, power, and gender inequality.
