   <abstract xml:lang="ru">
    <p>В статье рассматриваются актуальные причины, способы и механизмы влияния экономических элит на демократическую&#13;
политическую власть. В качестве наиболее яркого примера автор обращается к опыту Соединенных Штатов Америки –&#13;
страны, активно пропагандирующей важность практического претворения в жизнь демократических ценностей. Проведенные американскими учеными в 2013–2015 гг. исследования показывают, что интересы большинства граждан кардинальным образом расходятся с устремлениями финансово состоятельной «верхушки» общества, составляющей около&#13;
1% населения страны, а возможность влияния среднестатистических американцев на политиков при этом практически&#13;
отсутствует в силу недостаточности у них как финансовых ресурсов, так и личных связей. В связи с этим современный&#13;
порядок вещей позволяет все больше увеличивать разрыв между богатыми жителями и остальным населением, который&#13;
уже достиг исторического максимума и оставил около 47 млн американцев за чертой бедности.&#13;
Автором анализируются данные статистики, опросов и научных исследований за последние несколько лет, что позволяет&#13;
оценить сложившуюся в стране ситуацию «де-юре» и «де-факто». На основании полученных данных сделаны выводы о&#13;
несоответствии декларируемого и практически осуществляемого демократического порядка, а также выявлены способы,&#13;
позволяющие обеспеченным гражданам воздействовать на публичные органы власти. Это не только общеизвестная практика финансовой поддержки избирательных кампаний в обмен на лояльность кандидата, но и создание малоизвестных&#13;
комиссий и совещаний с участием финансовых элит, дающих рекомендации органам власти; представителей крупного&#13;
бизнеса в президентских собраниях; возможности личного взаимодействия экономических элит и политиков.&#13;
По мнению автора, все это свидетельствует о развитии опасной тенденции по превращению государства из социально&#13;
ориентированного образования в рыночно ориентированного актора мировой политики, главной целью которого является&#13;
экономическая прибыль.</p>

    <p>In this article the timely causes, methods and mechanisms of the influence of economic elites on the democratic political power are&#13;
examined. As the most glaring example, the author refers to the experience of the United States - the country that actively promotes&#13;
the importance of practical implementation of democratic values. Studies, which were conducted by the American scientists in 2013–&#13;
2015, however, show that the interests of the majority of citizens are fundamentally at odds with the aspirations of the financially wealthy &amp;#34;elites&amp;#34; of the society, which is about 1% of the population. Also there is virtually no possibility of influence on the American&#13;
politicians by the average citizens, as they don’t have both financial resources and personal connections. Due to the fact, this order&#13;
of things provokes disparity between rich people and the rest of the population, that has already reached a historic highest point and&#13;
left about 47 million of Americans below the poverty line.&#13;
The author analyzes the statistics, surveys and researches were taken in the past few years, which allows to evaluate the situation&#13;
in the country both &amp;#34;de jure&amp;#34; and &amp;#34;de facto&amp;#34;. Then the conclusions of non-compliance of the declared democratic order and practically&#13;
implemented are drawn, and also the ways which allow the economic elites to influence the public authorities are identified. It is&#13;
not only the well-known practice of financial support of election campaigns, but also the lesser-known creation of commissions&#13;
and meetings with the financial elites, giving the guidance to the authorities; the participation of representatives of business in the&#13;
presidential meetings; opportunities of personal interaction between the economic elites and politicians.&#13;
In general, this article, in the author’s opinion, is an argument in favor of a dangerous trend of turning the government from a socially&#13;
oriented formation in a market-oriented actor in world politics, whose main objective is to get an economic profitability.</p>
