Political Parties: A Sociological Study Of The Oligarchical Tendencies Of Modern Democracy is a book written by Michels, Robert in 1915. The book explores the oligarchical tendencies of modern democracy and provides a sociological study of political parties. The author argues that political parties, despite their democratic ideals, tend to be controlled by a small group of elites who hold the real power. Michels calls this the Iron Law of Oligarchy and suggests that it is a fundamental aspect of modern democracy.The book examines the history of political parties and their development over time. It also looks at the structure of political parties and how they operate. Michels argues that political parties are hierarchical organizations that are dominated by a small group of leaders. These leaders have the power to make decisions and control the direction of the party. The author also discusses the role of the masses in political parties and how they are often used as a means of gaining power.Overall, Political Parties: A Sociological Study Of The Oligarchical Tendencies Of Modern Democracy is an important work in the field of political science. It provides a critical analysis of political parties and their role in modern democracy. The book is still relevant today and is often cited in discussions of political parties and their impact on democratic systems.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
