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...

One of the leading public intellectuals of twentieth-century America and a pioneering and brilliant social scientist, C. Wright Mills left a legacy of interdisciplinary and hard-hitting work including two books that changed the way many people viewed their lives and the structure of power in the United States: White Collar (1951) and The Power Elite (1956). Mills persistently challenged the status quo within his profession--as in The Sociological Imagination (1959)--and within his country, until his untimely death in 1962.

Soziologische Phantasie, die erstmals 1963 erschienene deutsche Ubersetzung von C. Wright Mills' The Sociological Imagination, darf zurecht als Meilenstein wissenschaftlich-politischer Debatten in den Vereinigten Staaten betrachtet werden und zahlt auch heute noch zu einer der wichtigsten Selbstkritiken der Soziologie. Mills schlagt hier einen dritten Weg zwischen bloem Empirismus und abgehobener Theorie ein: Er pladiert fur eine kritische Sozialwissenschaft, die sich weder burokratisch instrumentalisieren lasst noch selbstverliebt vor sich hin prozessiert, sondern...
