In Democracy the Power Elite wields more power, like Mill’s said the power elite come from wealthy families, and they know one another though the schools they attend, the clubs they are apart of and the boards they sit on. Because business and political work together they have close relationships, meaning that political have business interest because of that relationship and business leaders often run for office. This is odd considering that we as the people elect people to public offices and through the study that Domhoff did in 1971, 1979, 1983 and 1993, it was discovered that “the social backgrounds of those in leading positions are highly unrepresentative of the population as a whole,” so why do we elect them? And given them the power?
