Abstract: The frequent lamentation that the brain drain is one of the most serious obstacles to progress in the developing countries shows clearly that elites are accorded an important role in the development process. Nonetheless, all there is at present on the function of elites in economic development is a collection of theoretical fragments and empirical findings that still have to be fitted together to form an applications-oriented theory. The following article reviews the state of research in this field.
