Elite education is both a cause and a consequence of the pivotal function of elites in society today. Studying elite education from different angles allows analysis of the structures of inequality in society since education plays a role in the reproduction, incorporation, and social formation of elites. The translation of worldviews of elite education into policymaking goes through the reproduction and formation of each new generation of the elite and can also positively or negatively impact social inequalities through policymaking on everything from mass education to interest rates. In this dissertation, I investigate elite education from three different perspectives and pay special attention to its relation to central banking. • An overview of the university education of elites worldwide. • A study of the elite education of all the board members in a hundred years since the foundation of the Banco de la República, the Colombian central bank. • An investigation into why central banks assume the public role of culture promotion.
