Small in number but great in influence, mobile elites have shaped
the contours of global capitalism. Today these elites continue to
flourish globally but in a changing landscape. The current economic
crisis-and rising concerns about the moral legitimacy of extreme
wealth-coincides with stern warnings over the risks posed by
climate change and the unsustainable use of resources. Often an
out-of-bounds topic in critical social science, elites are thought
of as too inaccessible a group to interview and too variable a
minority to measure. This groundbreaking collection sets out to
challenge this perception. Through the careful examination of the
movements of the one per cent through the everyday spaces of the
ninety-nine per cent, Elite Mobilities investigates the shared
zones elites inhabit alongside the commons: the executive lounge in
the airport, the penthouse in the hotel, or the gated community
next to the slum. Bringing together the pioneer scholars in
critical sociology today, this collection explores how social
scientists can research, map, and 'track' the flows and residues of
objects, wealth and power surrounding the hypermobile. Elite
Mobilities sets a new benchmark in social science efforts to
research the powerful and the privileged. It will appeal to
students and scholars interested in mobilities, transport, tourism,
social stratification, class, inequality, consumption, and global
environmental change.
