Answer:

secret club of political, military & business leaders

Step-by-step explanation:

power elite means a small group of people who are really powerful and make big decisions.

This group has three parts: politicians, business leaders, and military leaders.

They work together and share ideas to stay powerful and control society.

They don't always make decisions that help everyone, sometimes only themselves.

They make their decisions in secret and don't ask people what they think.

It's like a secret club where only a few people get to be in charge, and they don't always make choices that are best for everyone.
