Abstract

There is increasing interest in inquiring about elites as evidenced by the enormous growth of scientific research around the topic, as well as the sale of books on economic and political power. Latin America is one of the regions where, perhaps, more power and freedom have elites due to regressive fiscal models, weak regulatory institutions, and crony networks. Therefore, Latin American elites’ studies is an essential requirement to foster the sociology of elites.
