Assuming societal structure of world is held constant at 2018 state, how many roles would you say represent 80% of formal “power” in world? Example: global fortune 500 CEOs, top 5 political figures of all non-tiny countries, mayors of big cities, top scientists/artists? 25k?

Also Hedge Fund Guys, property developers, tech innovators. Maybe like 100k people? But power is quite diffuse, a lot of those ppl (Mayors of big cities, some CEOs) actually have very little power as their hands are almost completely tied.

Governments/Political houses always represent more than 80% of power in the world. They control/rule the rest no matter what. Democracy is just optics.
