The late C. Wright Mills, Professor of Sociology at Columbia University, was a leading critic of modern American civilization. Alan Wolfe is University Professor and Professor of Political Science and Sociology at Boston University. He is the author or editor of more than ten books, including Marginalized in the Middle and One Nation, After All.
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 of whether 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 America had changed during their lifetimes, and Alan Wolfe's 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 stimulated generations 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.
《权力精英》 米尔斯 米尔斯首先给权力精英下了一个定义,他认为,“权力精英由这样一些人组成——他们的地位可以使他们超越普通人所处的环境;他们的地位可以使他们做出具有重要后果的决定。”(p2)或者我们可以给出更具体的定义,“所谓的权力精英,指的...
评分在我们的心目中,美国由于是在一张白纸上规划的国家,制度设置的基础就是民主政治的充分实现、自由经济的竞争发展、公民权利的强力保障、政府权力的相互制衡,总之是人人羡慕不来的现代国家典范。但是,看了美国查尔斯.赖特.米尔斯的《权力精英》之后,才知道也许事实并非...

评分1950年代的美国,是一个“物质繁荣、国家主义甚嚣尘上和政治真空”的时代。大多数美国人处在一种自鸣得意的状态中,知识分子们也将自己出卖给保守主义情绪。这时,米尔斯写下了《权力精英》,告诉美国人他们处在怎样一种糟糕的境地当中:这个国家已经被商界、政界和军界的权力...

评分钱造一个巴别塔,你吓到我大湖南了
评分1.“美国曾是一个小而美的地方,现在她变了。”这句话社会学家说了六十年。2.书里几乎每个重要观察,都在后世衍生出丰富的文献,可怕。3.有趣的是,一些被归因于越战或民权运动或石油危机的政治变化,在米尔斯的书里已经体现了。4.国内不平等研究最喜欢引用的著作之一,却恰恰反衬他们的苍白。
评分钱造一个巴别塔,你吓到我大湖南了
评分文笔真好,第一页写"They (the elites) need not merely 'meet the demands of the day and hour'; in some part, they create these demands, and cause others to meet them."不禁笑了出来。
