Power Elite and the State
Overview
This volume presents a network of social power, indicating that theories inspired by C. Wright Mills are far more accurate views about power in America than those of Mills's opponents.
Coalitions and Policy Issues
Dr. Domhoff shows how and why coalitions within the power elite have involved themselves in such policy issues as the Social Security Act (1935) and the Employment Act (1946), and how the National Labor Relations Act (1935) could pass against the opposition of every major corporation.
Shaping the Post-War World
The book describes how experts worked closely with the power elite in shaping the plans for a post-World War II world economic order, in good part realized during the past 30 years.
Political Dynamics
Arguments are advanced that the fat cats who support the Democrats cannot be understood in terms of narrow self-interest, and that moderate conservatives dominated policy-making under Reagan.
