SHOULD THE INTELLECTUALS TO RULE?

Abstract

Since the advent of the first proto-state entities, human society has searched for the best way to manage and organize large groups. Criteria have changed throughout history more than once: initially, the legitimacy of the Manager was supported by tradition, religious cult – the best leader has not only strength, agility and intelligence, qualities which were required of the leaders in the pre-state era, but behind it the authority of tradition. Currently, the legitimacy of the ruler (take consideration of developed countries of Europe) depends on many factors, as a rather formal and paradigmatic for the current system of governance – utilitarianism in the classical formulation of Jeremy Bentham, based on a democratic form of government, the rate on the effectiveness of leadership, understood primarily in an economic sense.
