<br/><br/> First published in 1956 this book is a sociological study and criticism of the structure of power in the United States showing how power had become national and was concentrated in the hands of a small number of people particularly the military, corporate, and political elite. Consequently the average American had little or no influence over politics and democratic theory was far removed from democratic practice. The afterword poses the question have things changed in the forty years since the book was published.
