Summary, etc. Gaetano Mosca's theory of the ruling class was evolved in<br/>its first form during the years 1878-1881, while Mosca was a<br/>student under Angelo Messedaglia at the University of Palermo.<br/>It occurred to him at that time to generalize the method which<br/>Taine had used in the Ancien régime. There, it will be remem-<br/>bered, Taine sought the origins of the French Revolution in the<br/>decadence of the groups of people that had ruled France during<br/>the golden age of the old monarchy, a class which he considered<br/>and analyzed under three headings, the crown, the clergy and the<br/>nobility.<br/>The first thought of the student Mosca was that perhaps any<br/>society might be analyzed the way Taine had analyzed monarchi-<br/>cal France; and his second was that, in view of the vogue that<br/>doctrines of majority rule had had in the nineteenth century, he<br/>had hit upon a most fertile and suggestive hypothesis. If one<br/>looks closely at any country, be it commonly known as<br/>archy, a tyranny, a republic or what one will, one inevitably<br/>finds that actual power is wielded never by one person, the<br/>monarch or head of the state, nor yet by the whole comm<br/>mmunity<br/>of citizens, but by a particular group of people which is always<br/>fairly small in numbers as compared with the total population.<br/>Taine had shown, also, that the traits of the brilliant French<br/>civilization of the age of the Great King were the traits less<br/>of the French people at large than of the same French aristocracy<br/>and, in fact, seemed to be connected with the special conditions<br/>under which that aristocracy had functioned during the seven-<br/>teenth and eighteenth centuries.
