Description: The Power Elite by C. Wright Mills, Alan Wolfe Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description A fascinating and controversial study of the organization of our society, this well-known volume depicts the style and substance of the men and women at the pinnacles of fame, power, and fortune in mid-1900s America. Alan Wolfes astute afterword to this new edition shows how Mills was a pioneer in helping readers think about the society they have and the society they might want. Publisher Description First published in 1956, The Power Elite stands as a contemporary classic of social science and social criticism. C. Wright Mills examines and critiques the organization of power in the United States, calling attention to three firmly interlocked prongs of power: the military, corporate, and political elite. The Power Elite can be read as a good account of what was taking place in America at the time it was written, but its underlying question ofwhether America is as democratic in practice as it is in theory continues to matter very much today.What The Power Elite informed readers of in 1956 was how much the organization of power in Americahad changed during their lifetimes, and Alan Wolfes astute afterword to this new edition brings us up to date, illustrating how much more has changed since then. Wolfe sorts out what is helpful in Mills book and which of his predictions have not come to bear, laying out the radical changes in American capitalism, from intense global competition and the collapse of communism to rapid technological transformations and ever changing consumer tastes. The Power Elite has stimulatedgenerations of readers to think about the kind of society they have and the kind of society they might want, and deserves to be read by every new generation.
