In 1974, Maurice Zeitlin published a seminal article in The
American Journal of Sociology, criticizing managerial theory and
evidence, which ended one era in the analysis of the large
corporation's ownership and control and began a new one. He called
for research on the capitalist class that would reveal its inner
structure--particularly the interaction of family ties, property,
and business leadership in the large corporation. But, despite the
subsequent blossoming of studies of intercorporate and class power,
no one else has yet done the systematic empirical analysis he
outlined. This work is thus the first to explore the full panoply
of intraclass relations--interorganizational, kinship, economic,
and political--within an actually existing dominant class.
Theoretically sensitive, methodologically precise, and historically
grounded, it aims to fill in the blank spots in our knowledge about
how "economic classes" become "social classes" and how the latter
in turn connect with other social forms. This work is a sustained
empirical analysis of Chile's dominant class. But it does more than
reveal that class's specific internal structure; it also provides a
coherent theory of the inner relations constituting any dominant
class in a highly concentrated capitalist economy, a methodological
paradigm, and an exemplary body of findings, which can closely
guide the study of other dominant classes, especially in the
"advanced" societies of the West. Originally published in 1988. The
Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology
to again make available previously out-of-print books from the
distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These
editions preserve the original texts of these important books while
presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The
goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access
to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books
published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
