description The systemic crisis of modern Western civilisation is particularly evident in the professional condition of its ruling political class, which has produced a negative selection of elites with enviable consistency. The professional competence of the ruling class declines disastrously with each new generation. This marker is the most important criterion of crisis and degradation of what V. Pareto and G. Mosca called the elite. Actually, history is already performing its final requiem for this elite. The stream of criticism to the existing political elite testifies to its deepest professional crisis. The system of elites itself is being criticized and this criticism is becoming more and more systematic. Today we are indeed witnessing a veritable requiem for the industrial-type elite. Its supremacy is questioned not only by political scientists, but also by some politicians.
