Those who hold the top are often plutocrats, sometimes of Persian origin, while the manifold dirt-poor has little or no real say. India, very soon to be the world’s largest country population-wise, and an economy which is set to surpass both France and UK in 2018, as well as the fourth largest in a military sense, is an up-and-coming nation. What’s happening in this highly homogeneous nation affects the rest. While Japan’s economy and their political strivings remain largely insular, it’s still the world’s third largest economy and number seven in terms of military capacity.

Yet as long as Russia has its oil, gas, big army, and nuclear missiles, it’s still a country filled with powerful oligarchs and expansionists. The country’s major channel for broadcasting an alternative, pro-Russian worldview, Russia Today, has recently suffered a setback, potentially leading to less cultural and political influence in the West and elsewhere. Russia is not in the top ten of the world’s leading economies but second regarding military, and consequently political power. Those who control France thus have a stronghold over a significant part of Europe. It’s also one of the most influential members of the EU.

Frenchįrance may be regarded as a nation in cultural, political, and economic decline, but it’s still the world’s seventh largest economy, and has a significant nuclear arsenal.

The Italian economy hinges on the manufacture of high-quality consumer goods produced by small and medium-sized enterprises, some family-owned while others are linked to various Mafia groups.Īlthough Italy suffers from political corruption, it’s indeed a nest of many wealthy native men. Italy is the world’s ninth largest economy. I have used quantifiable lists such as IMF data on GDP, Global Firepower, Forbes, and other relevant literature as a means to nuance some of the positions.Įven if individual men hardly can make a difference regarding global and national power structures, it’s our duty to help each other to have clear overall understanding of the world.

The more power a nation demonstrates within each of these four areas, the more power its elites have. The list below is based on four often interrelated dimensions of power: money, military capacity, culture, and politics. Yet the national level is still an important instrument for obtaining wealth and power, and in rich and powerful states one notices that elites within specific national or ethnic groups have more of those precious things than others. Furthermore, the national level is often partly subordinate to global financial structures, capital flows and markets. That was also the case with, for example, slavery and colonization-only tiny fractions of specific nations like Belgium, Germany, Britain and the U.S. were engaged in such highly questionable actions. When people discuss “globalists” or the “elites”, they often seem to refer to individuals and corporations rather than entire countries. This is understandable, since national groups in their entirety should neither be blamed nor cherished for what the most powerful persons have carried through.
