In this substantially revised and enlarged second edition of a
classic text that has been used throughout the world in numerous
translations, Tom Bottomore reconsiders elite theory in the light
of more recent studies. He examines the role and significance of
elites in relation to classes and class structure in both advanced
industrial and developing countries, and expounds the criticism of
elites and elitism that have been formulated by democratic and
socialist thinkers and movements. In a new concluding chapter,
Professor Bottomore considers the prospect, as humanity approaches
the millenium, for a renewed advance towards more egalitarian forms
of society, in which all citizens would be able to participate more
fully and effectively in the shaping of their social world.
Tom Bottomore taught at the London School of Economics 1952-64,
was Head of the Department of Political Science, Sociology and
Anthropology at Simon Fraser University, Vancouver 1965-67, and
Professor of Sociology at the University of Sussex 1968-85 where he
is now Professor Emeritus. He is the author of numerous books, most
recently: Theories of Modern Capitalism, Allen and Unwin (1985);
Classes in Modern Society, Routledge (2nd edition, 1991) and
Between Marginalism and Marxism: The Economic Sociology of J A
Schumpter, Harvester Wheatsheaf (1992).
