Vuk Vukovic: Elite Networks, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

In Elite Networks, Vuk Vukovi offers a different perspective on the long-run origins of inequality by introducing the concept of elite networks and examining their impact on the distribution of power and incomes. Calling upon historical arguments and direct empirical evidence, Vukovi contends that true causes of inequality lie in the misuse of political power. Offering a unique contribution to the field, this book argues that to lower inequality and prevent incentives of elite network formation, we must first and foremost lower centralized political power and re-empower citizens and the community by rebuilding trust and relying on the democratic trial-and-error mechanism.
