	Mills - Power Elite (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		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.
		The shape and meaning of the power elite today can be understood only when these three sets of structural trends are seen at their point of coincidence: the military capitalism of private corporations exists in a weakened and formal democratic system containing a military order already quite political in outlook and demeanor.
		We must remember that these men of the power elite now occupy the strategic places in the structure of American society; that they command the dominant institutions of a dominant nation; that, as a set of men, they are in a position to make decisions with terrible consequences for the underlying populations of the world.

	The Power Elite
		The power elite theory, in short, claims that a single elite, not a multiplicity of competing groups, decides the life-and-death issues for the nation as a whole, leaving relatively minor matters for the middle level and almost nothing for the common person.
		Participants in the elite tend to read the same newspapers, join the same clubs, live in the same neighborhoods, send their children to the same schools (usually private and the ones they themselves attended), and belong to the same churches and charities.
		Elite theorists think that most of the participants in the middle are actually motivated by rather selfish and parochial interests.

		Hunter's claim that power in Atlanta was in the hands of a relatively few corporate leaders was deeply disturbing to many members of the social science community, and especially the political scientists, who had enjoyed a near monopoly on the study of policy formation and the workings of government up to that point.
