What if the power in our society is controlled not by a single individual, but by a select group of elites? In this thought-provoking episode, we explore Elite Theory and Power through the works of James Burnham and C. Wright Mills, diving into the foundations of power, the risks of speaking truth to power.
We also analyze the role of industrialization and class structure in granting access to power, examining the traditional scions of society and the grooming process for success in the elite, including preparatory classes, Ivy League institutions, and fraternities. Using the example of George Bush Sr. and George Bush Jr., we illustrate the Elite Theory of power. Furthermore, we delve into the Iron Law of Oligarchy and the implications of self-government being impossible, discussing the necessity of a managerial class and elite for societies to progress.
Finally, we shed light on the complexities of Elite Theory, democracy, and the shifting allegiances within power structures. We discuss the character traits that set elites apart from the ruled, the separate laws and norms they create to maintain power, and the idea that within the elite, there are substrata vying for top dog status. Listen in as we navigate this fascinating topic and uncover the intricacies of elite power and its impact on our society.
