Synopsis

This collection will be essential reading for all those interested in the intimate relationship between elites and the remaking of present day capitalism.

• Investigates how in the last thirty years elites have been forgotten in social sciences but remembered as capitalism
  
• Brings together an interdisciplinary team of contributors including sociologists, anthropologists, political scientists, and management researchers all arguing for and demonstrating the need to resume elite studies
  
• Tackles the paradox of memory and forgetting by explaining how neo-positivism and post-structuralist theory both marginalised elites as intellectual object while financialized capitalism created lucrative new elite positions
  
• Evaluates the historical changes since Thatcher and Reagan and explores the changing elite cultures in the civil service
  
• Explores the possibilities of a Bourdieusian, comparative analysis of business and finance within British and French business networks
  
• Includes essays which balance the concern with financialization on cultural elites and consumption of elites
  
• Considers whether there is still an 'intellectual' cultural elite and contributes empirical studies of elite consumption in the UK
