Seller's Description:
Good. No dust jacket as issued. Previous owner's initials in ink on fep. xiii, 256 p. Tables. Notes. Bibliography. Index. In a collective enterprise, fourteen leading social scientists have worked closely to explore the power network connecting U.S. corporate structure with other key sectors of the society. In clear, non-technical terms, the contributors examine such issues as interlocking boards, business control of banks, the government as an agent of the ruling class, the 'capture' of regulatory agencies by the businesses they were supposed to regulate, and penetration of various U.S. institutions by a corporate 'inner group'. In addition, this volume contains the first general analysis of the structure of intercorporate co-ordination among multinational businesses and the expression of business interest in educational systems, transportation policy, urban investment, and academic political theory. Together the essays address not only the processes of corporate decision making and policy formation, but also the vulnerability of the elite to mass discontent, the fragility of its role in the face of mass action.
