In Elite Networks, Vuk Vukovi¿ offers a different perspective on the long-run origins of inequality by introducing the concept of elite networks and examining their impact on the distribution of power and incomes. Calling upon historical arguments and direct empirical evidence, Vukovi¿ contends that true causes of inequality lie in the misuse of political power.
