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.

讀後感
1950年代的美国，是一个“物质繁荣、国家主义甚嚣尘上和政治真空”的时代。大多数美国人处在一种自鸣得意的状态中，知识分子们也将自己出卖给保守主义情绪。这时，米尔斯写下了《权力精英》，告诉美国人他们处在怎样一种糟糕的境地当中：这个国家已经被商界、政界和军界的权力...
評分米尔斯这本书写于《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...

評分在本书前半部分，米尔斯追溯了十九世纪上半叶美国国家权力的变迁经过，主要突出了这一变化的两大特征：第一，政治及经济资本从分散在全国各地的小镇头面家族向各大都会集中，最终形成排除了地方干预的集权体制。第二，以各党派职业政治家之间的权力均衡为特征的经典政治形态被...

评分部分章節。隻能說米爾斯實在太狠，字句如刀，刀刀見血。他對interlocking directorates 的論述恐怕是對連鎖董事最早的觀察，充滿著反諷和批判，卻在後世讓這些在bureaucratic體係裏掙紮的學術民工不斷生産齣蒼白無力的工業量化分析，不得不讓人感嘆天纔已死，世事無常。昔日玫瑰以其名留芳，今人所持唯玫瑰之名。
评分重點看瞭1 7 10 12 非常厲害瞭 但為什麼最近讀這幾本書的中譯版都很爛…
