Re: Class War (4.00 / 5)
Orwell was at least familiar with Pareto.

Here is Orwell writing a review of Burnham in 1946.

George Orwell - James Burnham and the Managerial Revolution - Essay

Burnham lays much stress on Pareto's theory of the "circulation of the elites". If it is to stay in power a ruling class must constantly admit suitable recruits from below, so that the ablest men may always be at the top and a new class of power-hungry malcontents cannot come into being. This is likeliest to happen, Burnham considers, in a society which retains democratic habits--that is, where opposition is permitted and certain bodies such as the press and the trade unions can keep their autonomy.
