Sociology
Scott (1991) introduced the term ‘power elite’ to describe:
the ruling class, or bourgeoisie, who exploit the proletariat
a capitalist class dependent on property ownership and advantaged life chances
an alignment of classes with shared interests but no state power
a state elite whose members are drawn overwhelmingly from a power bloc
a state elite whose members are drawn overwhelmingly from a power bloc
Scott analyzed the ways in which political power in Britain is linked to class advantage through interlinked structures and social institutions. The capitalist state is linked to a state elite, for its members are often in lead positions in the government, parliament, civil service, military, para-military and judiciary. Scott argued that a power elite exists whenever a state elite recruits its members from a power bloc, or alignment of classes with shared interests in exercising state power. He identified four types of power elite: exclusive, inclusive, segmented and fragmented. 832-833
