Modern Economic Elites

Abstract The main motivation for the study is to address the existing problem of determining the influence of the (emerging) economic elite on the global capital flows on which both the national economies and the global economy depend. The results of the study show that the economic elite does not arise on its own – it is developed from MNC s’ managers. Such managers have vast experience and are key figures in the structure of such companies. Through their decisions, they affect not only the company they work for, but also the global economy. The practical value of the study consists in the possibility of using the obtained results for further research into the influence of economic elites on the capital flows in the global economy, and the proposed classification of economic elites allows identifying the channels of influence of economic elites on the global economy.
