	Mills - Power Elite (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The supremacy of corporate economic power began, in a formal way, with the Congressional elections of 1866, and was consolidated by the Supreme Court decision of 1886 which declared that the Fourteenth Amendment protected the corporation.
		In so far as the structural clue to the power elite today lies in the political order, that clue is the decline of politics as genuine and public debate of alternative decisions--with nationally responsible and policy-coherent parties and with autonomous organizations connecting the lower and middle levels of power with the top levels of decision.
		Moreover, in a formally democratic polity, the aims and the powers of the various elements of this elite are further supported by an aspect of the permanent war economy: the assumption that the security of the nation supposedly rests upon great secrecy of plan and intent.

	Message to Congress on the Concentration of Economic Power
		This concentration is seriously impairing the economic effectiveness of private enterprise as a way of providing employment for labor and capital and as a way of assuring a more equitable distribution of income and earnings among the people of the nation as a whole.

		Concentration of economic power in the few and the resulting unemployment of labor and capital are inescapable problems for a modern “private enterprise” democracy.

	The Concentration of Political and Economic Power - eXile MM - Christians in Exile 2000
		The centralization of political power in the federal government has led to a perpetuation of that power in the hands of a particular group of persons, best described as "elites." The House of Representatives is but one example, where centralization of power enables 98.5% of incumbents to be re-elected.
		When given more power, human beings quite naturally use it to secure and improve their own position - which is why Lord Acton did not say: "Power tends to purify." Thus the centralization of power in the hands of a few ineluctably enables those holding power to keep it.
		When power must be transferred, such as in the case of death or retirement, the existence of elite culture allows the transferor to select a recipient who has already been imbued with beliefs and values of the elite world-view.

	stopVAW -- Economic Power over Women
		It is thought that economic considerations may fuel this type of harassment and may also play a role in harassment by a supervisor.
		Some men may resort to sexual harassment in the workplace to assert power in a sexual context, in which they believe they have an advantage over women, and to express frustration over their loss or lack of relative power over the women in the workplace context.
		In these situations, economic factors other than economic vulnerability appear to be at work, such as the desire of men to ensure continued economic dominance over women in the workplace by discouraging women from entering jobs in which they would compete with men.

		While the causes for economic meltdowns in the past were understood in hindsight, today, it should be obvious beforehand this is the greatest threat to economic stability...
