James Burnham, in his book ‘The Managerial Revolution: What is Happening in the World’ (1941), argued that in industrial societies, power was shifting from the traditional owners of capital to a new class of managers. He contended that this managerial class, possessing technical and administrative skills, would become the dominant force regardless of whether the system was capitalist or communist.<\/section>\n
Burnham’s thesis was influential in the study of social and political structures, suggesting a convergence in the power dynamics of seemingly opposite economic systems due to the rise of managerial expertise.<\/section>\n
Robert Michels is known for his “iron law of oligarchy,” Gaetano Mosca for the theory of the ruling class (specifically the “political class”), and Vilfredo Pareto for his elite theory and the concept of the circulation of elites. While all these scholars dealt with elites and power structures, the specific argument about the dominance of a managerial class in both capitalist and communist societies is attributed to James Burnham.<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
