The Corporate Rich and the Power Elite in the Twentieth Century
demonstrates exactly how the corporate rich developed and
implemented the policies and created the government structures that
allowed them to dominate the United States. The book is framed
within three historical developments that have made this domination
possible: the rise and fall of the union movement, the initiation
and subsequent limitation of government social-benefit programs,
and the postwar expansion of international trade. The book's deep
exploration into the various methods the corporate rich used to
centralize power corrects major empirical misunderstandings
concerning all three issue-areas. Further, it explains why the
three ascendant theories of power in the early twenty-first
century-interest-group pluralism, organizational state theory, and
historical institutionalism-cannot account for the complexity of
events that established the power elite's supremacy and led to
labor's fall. More generally, and convincingly, the analysis
reveals how a corporate-financed policy-planning network,
consisting of foundations, think tanks, and policy-discussion
groups, gradually developed in the twentieth century and played a
pivotal role in all three issue-areas. Filled with new archival
findings and commanding detail, this book offers readers a
remarkable look into the nature of power in America during the
twentieth century, and provides a starting point for future
in-depth analyses of corporate power in the current century.
