Resum

The aim of this text is to reflect about the strengths and weaknesses of a term, ‘the power elite’, which is suggestive for the analysis of the current and past social change. It was born in the early of the 20th century from Sociology and Political Sciences, and it has been used thoroughly in several fields of the Social Sciences, especially in History. Although at present the term accepts many acceptations, so it is difficult an agreement on its meaning and usage, I work through a review of the C.Wright Mills’ classic book, The Power Elite.
