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's opponents.
Dr. Domhoff shows how and why coalitions within the power elite
have involved themselves in such policy issues as the Social
Security Act (1935) and the Employment Act (1946), and how the
National Labor Relations Act (1935) could pass against the
opposition of every major corporation. The book descri bes how
experts worked closely with the power elite in shaping the plansfor
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.
