The list of the super class

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The list of the superclass , in English The Super Class List , is a representation of the author David Rothkopf , to which he in his book Superclass: The Global Power Elite and The World They Are Making supports. There are four common success characteristics of the members of this power elite , which guarantee their unique power in the global world: geographical location, family tree, networking and luck.

Verification of the list

Rothkopf writes that his list from 2008 included 6,000 people. The list is only roughly divided and is mainly based on statistical data. According to Rothkopf, one member equals one million people in the world, so the number of elite members after 2008 should be correspondingly higher.

Rothkopf stated that this list should not be published as this could lead to discussions about the authorization of individual assignments. In one-on-one interviews, he gave the names of individuals on the list whom he claimed had verified their affiliation.
