Description

The Power Elite by C. Wright Mills is a seminal work of social science that examines the organization of power in the United States. Mills identifies three interconnected prongs of power: the military, corporate, and political elite, and critiques their interplay. This thought-provoking analysis remains relevant today, as it asks whether America's democratic ideals are matched by its actual practice of power. First published in 1956, The Power Elite has stimulated generations of readers to think critically about the kind of society they want to live in. The book's underlying questions about the nature of power and democracy continue to resonate. A new edition, featuring an astute afterword by Alan Wolfe, brings the reader up to date with the significant changes in American capitalism since Mills' time. This book is a valuable contribution to the study of power and its effects on society, and its insights remain pertinent today.
