Iron law of oligarchy

Robert Michels believed that any political system eventually evolves into an oligarchy. He called this the “iron law of oligarchy”. According to this school of thought, modern democracies should be considered as oligarchies. In these systems, actual differences between viable political rivals are small, the oligarchic elite impose strict limits on what constitutes an ‘acceptable’ and ‘respectable’ political position, and politicians’ careers depend heavily on unelected economic and media elites.
