In current debates where the death of the “elite” and the collapse of the model are proclaimed, a long-term analysis—one of transnational connection and the systematic construction of a coherent project that overcomes and adapts to the most diverse crises—comes to relativize those overly enthusiastic readings that are too attentive to novelty. A class that has spent 200 years recomposing itself, reproducing itself, and directing the rest will hardly fall due to a crisis of legitimacy or a complicated economic conjuncture. Nor will it fall because of demands that seem to surpass it. In both cases, the crucial factor will be the reaction and adaptive capacity of business elites to these demands, questioning, and changing, uncertain contexts. As this book masterfully shows, class formation (not just that of the property-owning classes) is, after all, a continuous process of struggle along pathways that are not always predetermined.
