Explain what is meant by the term power elite. consider its original intention as coined by

c. wright mills as well as your understanding of it.

Power elite are those group of powerful people who are in control of a huge part of society and the world. C. Wright Mills believed that this group of people use the government to propagate their own formulated social rules that will allow them to stay in power and sustain their own wealth. In my understanding, this group of people are those who control much of the world's resources, as they have been doing so in the past decades through their ancestors. These group of people only think about themselves, ignoring the consequences that their actions might bring into society.
