Description: >In 1956, sociologist C. Wright Mills published the classic book The Power Elite, which looked at how a narrow segment of the population with high positions in different institutions (legislators, corporations, the military) tended to make decisions for the population as a whole, with the consensus among these actors displacing authentic democracy. - [Current Affairs](https://www.currentaffairs.org/2023/02/who-are-the-power-elite)
