Political Parties: A Sociological Study Of The Oligarchical Tendencies Of Modern Democracy (1915) is a book written by Michels, Robert. The book explores the concept of political parties in modern democracies and the oligarchical tendencies that exist within them. Michels argues that political parties, which are supposed to represent the interests of the masses, often become dominated by a small group of leaders who hold the real power. This iron law of oligarchy is a result of the need for efficient decision-making and the tendency for those in power to consolidate their control. Michels examines the history of political parties and their evolution, as well as the role of leadership and the impact of technology on party organization. The book is considered a seminal work in the field of political sociology and has had a lasting impact on the study of political parties and democracy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
