"The leadership of a state or of a party by men who (in the economic sense of the word) live exclusively for politics and not off politics means necessarily a ‘plutocratic’ [rule of the wealthy, after the Roman god of wealth and the underworld, Pluto—Prof.] recruitment of the leading political strata. To be sure, this does not mean that such plutocratic leadership signifies at the same time that the politically dominant strata will not also seek to live ‘off’ politics, and hence that the dominant stratum will not usually exploit their political domination in their own economic interest" (pp. 85-6)
This passage is telling us how a person that want to be in politics should think about politics, that will like to make thing better for the good of the people. its very clear the stamen his trying to put in the reading about this part of the reading. If a man that is willing to be a politic vacation to his country for the economy, their purpose is to fix thing, to do good to the state and not created this bad habit of living off the politics power. People sometimes see the power that one can obtain and really forget what was the purpose of them being involve in politics matters. In which I believe is one of the major problems of the world we live in know. Politics take advantage of the power that is giving to them in such way, that its no longer about the society or the nation it becomes living for themselves. There is were politics fail on doing the best for the nation.
