About This Item
Hawthorne, New York: Aldine de Gruyter, 1990. Soft cover. Fine. 8vo. Social Institutions and Social Change Series. Soft cover. xix, 315 pp. Fine. 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' opponents. Dr. Domhoff shows how and why coalitions within the power elite have inovlved themselves in such policy issues as the Social Security Act and the Employment Act, and how the National Labor Relations Act could pass against the opposition of every major corporation. This 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. 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.
