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.
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.

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。
评分????????????发现长这么大看的世界是假的,被灌输的知识是垃圾
评分钱造一个巴别塔,你吓到我大湖南了
评分部分章节。只能说米尔斯实在太狠,字句如刀,刀刀见血。他对interlocking directorates 的论述恐怕是对连锁董事最早的观察,充满着反讽和批判,却在后世让这些在bureaucratic体系里挣扎的学术民工不断生产出苍白无力的工业量化分析,不得不让人感叹天才已死,世事无常。昔日玫瑰以其名留芳,今人所持唯玫瑰之名。
书总体上还是很好的,但翻译上工夫不够,估计也就几个研究生干的活。现在像过去那样用几年十几年把一本书翻译好的精神实在是太欠缺了。 本书是社会学著作,但因为是从批判主义入手,所以学院气不是那么浓,理论上也没太多高深的地方,但很给人启发,事实有时往往比理论...
评分《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...

评分米尔斯这本书写于《社会学的想像力》之前三年,因而可看作其社会学主张的例证。米尔斯是马克斯•韦伯著作的主要翻译者之一,深受韦伯的影响,不过他在书中表露的激愤思想,显然是受到了马克思的影响。人们之所以常常把米尔斯看作社会批评家,而非社会科学家,大概是因为人...
