Essay on privileged groups in Perú: some questions to discuss

Abstract

This work is an essay on privileged groups in Peru. More than evidencing the findings of some research, the objective is to put some questions to the debate. This can allow us to rethink some things that we believed to be true about the Peruvian elites from the social sciences. Therefore, this essay is first dedicated to characterizing who would be the most privileged groups in Peru. Later, we argue how it has an origin, common reproduction mechanisms and a country project based on an ideology. Thus, an interesting agenda can be pened in the academy to analyze how it maintains its privileges within a "democratic" society and how to face the imposition of a society project.
