Moreover, inquiring into elites has taken centre-stage once again in both journalistic investigations and academic research. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNew Directions in Elite Studies attempts to move the social scientific study of elites beyond economic analysis, which has greatly improved our knowledge of inequality, but is restricted to income and wealth. In contrast, this book mobilizes a broad scope of research methods to uncover the social composition of the power elite â the âfield of powerâ. It reconstructs processes through which people gain access to positions in this particular social space, examines the various forms of capital they mobilize in the process â economic, but also cultural and social capital â and probes changes over time and variations across national contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBringing together the most advanced research \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Introduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohan Heilbron, Felix Bühlmann, Johs.
