    The power elite model suggests that power is held and controlled by a small and influential group of individuals. In this model, a select few have considerable influence and control over important decisions and resources in society. This group is often composed of political, economic, and military leaders who work together to maintain their power and influence. The power elite model contrasts with other models like the pluralist model, which suggests that power is distributed among a variety of groups, and the amorphous or inert model, which suggests that power is diffuse and not concentrated in any particular group.
