THE POWER ELITE

'''The Power Elite''' is an influential book written by sociologist C. Wright Mills in 1956. In it Mills called attention to the interlaced interests of the leaders of the military, corporate, and political elements of society, suggesting that the ordinary citizen was a relatively powerless subject of manipulation by those entities.The structual basis of ''The Power Elite'' was that United States, after World War II was the big winner, the leading country, in military and economic terms.
:The book is something of a counterpart of Mills' 1951, work, ''White Collar'', which examined the growing role of middle managers in American society. While ''White Collar'' characterized middle managers as agents of the elite, ''The Power Elite'' did not differentiate them from the rest of the non-elite in society.
