Who put forth the concept of 'Circulation of Elite' ?
Answer: B
The concept of the circulation of elites was put forward by Wilfredo Pareto.
Vilfredo Pareto argued in The Mind and Society that every society is ruled by an elite, and that history is a 'graveyard of aristocracies' in which one elite (the 'lions' or the 'foxes') is replaced by another. This continuous replacement is the circulation of elites.
Gaetano Mosca wrote of the 'ruling class', Robert Michels formulated the 'iron law of oligarchy', and C. Wright Mills described the American 'power elite'. All are elite theorists, but the circulation idea is Pareto's.
