POWER IN THE HANDS OF WHOM?

Power is questioned since the very beginning of political philosophy and history. Who should have the power to govern?. Plato emphasized that power should be in the hands of people having wisdom, knowledge, and sense of just. But, as this book figured out, power is the means of exploitation, and corruption is the ethical aspect of it. For the last four centuries, power, balance of power, checks amd balance, and separation of powers have been discussed by the scholars and acedemicians. But, unfortunately, this period is newly starting for the 3rd World countries. And, hope that they will be finishing their corruption period soon.
