Social Transformations and Elites

Revived interest in theoretical analysis of the social processes taking place around us seems to have replaced the journalistic tones that formerly predominated. However, the initial studies indicate that the investigators have not developed sufficiently precise political or economic categories. For example, current debates on the ways and means of Russian reform and on the development of society in general tend to focus on macroeconomic problems, and discussions revolve around the importance of a harmonious combination of macroeconomic and microeconomic analysis. But the question of the macrosocial premises behind the transformations and their corresponding theoretical meaning is left almost entirely out of the discussion
