Features: This book was written in 1936, both as an early representative work by himself and as a representative work of the behaviorist school at that time. In this work, the author proposes that political science is the study of power and powerful figures. A powerful figure is one who acquires the most of the attainable values (such as respect, security, and income). Those who acquire the most values are the elite, while the rest are the masses. The elite dominate the environment and achieve their specific goals primarily through the use of symbols, violence, material resources, and practical measures.
