Elites and Society

A classic and highly influential work of social theory, this is the **Revised Second Edition** of T.B. Bottomore's 'Elites and Society,' published in 1976 as a **Pelican Original**. In this substantially revised and updated edition, Bottomore, a prominent Marxist sociologist, offers a critical re-evaluation of elite theory, considering its evolution and its complex interrelationship with class structures in modern industrial societies. He examines the prospects for a more egalitarian society, providing a rigorous analysis of power, inequality, and social change that remains profoundly relevant today. This **paperback edition**, measuring 18cm x 11cm, is offered in **Good condition**. It shows typical signs of age and handling consistent with a well-read academic text, including some shelf wear to the covers and light tanning to page edges, but the binding remains solid and the text is clean and unmarked, ensuring its continued utility for study and reference.
