Vilfredo Pareto on Progress - Dictionary of Arguments
Brocker I 109 Progress/History/Pareto: Elections. According to Pareto, in history (...) the same pattern of division of society always reproduces a small class of power holders and a much larger class of the ones subjugated to power. So history does not follow any teleological law aimed at abolishing the class and power structure. In the Brocker I 110 political field, according to Pareto, no fundamental progress can be expected, neither in ethical nor in social terms. >History, >Historiography, >Power, >Society.
