Summary
In this classic of social science and social criticism, Columbia University sociologist C. Wright Mills examines and critiques the organization of power in the United States in the post-war era, calling attention to three interlocking groups of power--the military, corporate, and political elite--and exploring whether America is as democratic in practice as it is in theory.
