Know about the book -

Democratic Elitism is written by Natasha Piano and published by Harvard University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0674298993 (ISBN 10) and 9780674298996 (ISBN 13).

Natasha Piano argues that the Italian School of Elitism—comprising Pareto, Mosca, and Michels—has been consistently misread. These thinkers did not, as alleged, oppose electoral politics. Rather, they saw elections as just one component of democracy and warned that equating the two leaves publics disillusioned and vulnerable to elite capture.
