在我们的心目中,美国由于是在一张白纸上规划的国家,制度设置的基础就是民主政治的充分实现、自由经济的竞争发展、公民权利的强力保障、政府权力的相互制衡,总之是人人羡慕不来的现代国家典范。但是,看了美国查尔斯.赖特.米尔斯的《权力精英》之后,才知道也许事实并非...

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...

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.
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。

评分非常犀利。和Dahl的Who Governs放在一起看会更加有意思。对于当下体制的批判和对于实际民主制度运作过程的解释其实是相辅相成的两个传统,在美国的学术界里,我觉得这两个传统真正做到了相互切磋砥砺。
评分when the idea first came out, it was shocking. the one percent is never a new idea. is there really a time the society hasn’t been controlled by the one percent? this is what the sociologists have always been interested in.
