Economic, military, and government leaders
The power-elite theory by C. Wright Mills argues that a small group of individuals in society hold power and make decisions that affect the broader population. This elite group is composed of leaders from the government, businesses, and the military. Mills suggests that this concentration of power leads to decisions that benefit the elite rather than the general populace.
While they both hold a high percentage of political power, Elite Theory has a small "elite" group of individuals, groups, and industries while hyperpluralism has a group of people who share a common interest.
The theory is that only a few people, the elite, are capable of governing . Some would say that this is the way things should be. Others would say that is the way it will be anyway- that the elite will end up with the power even if others are given it for awhile.

Economic, military, and government leaders
According to the elite theory of government, those people with resources and wealth garner the power in society.Some key features of elite theory are:that leadership of nearly all key sectors of society are from the same social/economic group;the power elite can dictate the main goals for important government policy making;the power elite is based on their personal economic resources and on their positions within the top management of the big corporations, and does not depend upon their ability to gain the support through efforts to represent the interests of broader social groups.
First off an elite is a identifiable group of people who posses a disproportionate share of political power. Some examples are the Marxist view, power elite, bureaucratic view, and pluralist view. These elites maintain power by force, propaganda, success, and checking powers.
