If you have some real power over significant government or corporate policy...

Then you could be said to be part of the power elite.

Everybody else is largely powerless as to how the wider world is run, beyond their own small domain.

Not that we can't change the world for the better through the ripple effect, but we don't have hold of the reigns of power of our society.


Of course, when it comes to the power elite there are layers, with greater power belonging to those higher up the food chain.

Some of the greatest power lies with those who control the money supply, and who is able to receive it.
