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.
The late C. Wright Mills, Professor of Sociology at Columbia University, was a leading critic of modern American civilization. Alan Wolfe is University Professor and Professor of Political Science and Sociology at Boston University. He is the author or editor of more than ten books, including Marginalized in the Middle and One Nation, After All.
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...
评分《权力精英》 米尔斯 米尔斯首先给权力精英下了一个定义,他认为,“权力精英由这样一些人组成——他们的地位可以使他们超越普通人所处的环境;他们的地位可以使他们做出具有重要后果的决定。”(p2)或者我们可以给出更具体的定义,“所谓的权力精英,指的...
评分书总体上还是很好的,但翻译上工夫不够,估计也就几个研究生干的活。现在像过去那样用几年十几年把一本书翻译好的精神实在是太欠缺了。 本书是社会学著作,但因为是从批判主义入手,所以学院气不是那么浓,理论上也没太多高深的地方,但很给人启发,事实有时往往比理论...
评分还没有读完,但这本书读起来让我感觉有些吃力。一方面作者的思路似乎有些混乱,想要扩充的东西有点多,虽然道理都懂,但思路理清楚很难。另外我读的是北京时代华文书局的版本,感觉翻译的质量有些问题,很多时候一句话读完就感觉摸不着头脑,语法结构很乱。还有,麻烦不要那么...

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.
评分学校图书馆借的,也是只有1965的版本
评分部分章节。只能说米尔斯实在太狠,字句如刀,刀刀见血。他对interlocking directorates 的论述恐怕是对连锁董事最早的观察,充满着反讽和批判,却在后世让这些在bureaucratic体系里挣扎的学术民工不断生产出苍白无力的工业量化分析,不得不让人感叹天才已死,世事无常。昔日玫瑰以其名留芳,今人所持唯玫瑰之名。
评分重点看了1 7 10 12 非常厉害了 但为什么最近读这几本书的中译版都很烂…
评分1.“美国曾是一个小而美的地方,现在她变了。”这句话社会学家说了六十年。2.书里几乎每个重要观察,都在后世衍生出丰富的文献,可怕。3.有趣的是,一些被归因于越战或民权运动或石油危机的政治变化,在米尔斯的书里已经体现了。4.国内不平等研究最喜欢引用的著作之一,却恰恰反衬他们的苍白。
