Synopsis
Brings together contributions by some of the leading young researchers in the field of power structure research -- the study of how the upper class is positioned within society. They describe the current state of the subfield, and what further lines of investigation are being pursued. Topics include the family office, the backing of ballot initiatives, businessmen in governmental advisory committees, and how businessmen work to influence local politics.
′For this anthology, Domhoff has assembled 10 original essays on the "distribution and exercise of power"...Most of the essays bring new research data to bear on these debates, which point to a relatively cohesive and pervasive capitalist class that attempts to dominate policy, decision making, and politics...are provocative and stimulate the ongoing debates in power structure research.′ -- Journal of Political and Military Sociology
