5つ星のうち5.0 The US ruling elite's evolution from the American Revolution through the Cold War

Mills' extensively footnoted study documents the evolution of the United States' ruling elite. Prior to the War Between The States, landed old families with histories dating back to the American Revolution formed the ruling elites' core, with new moneyed families (industrialists and natural resource barons) socially struggling to join the elite. The War Between The States impacted the power elite in two ways. The war financially ruined many Southern old families who consequently faded away. And the 1868 Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution legalized business incorporation, creating business entities that could compete with landed old family wealth. Corporate executives used their salaries and their fringe benefits to compete with landed family old wealth; these successful corporate executives had different motivations (e.g., profit instead of noblesse oblige) than the power elite's traditional landed old family members. The power elite changed as corporate wealth diffused into the elite.

World War Two caused an expansion of the Federal Executive's powers, and motivated extreme coordination between United States industry and its military. The Federal Executive and the military controlled much taxpayer money, and a series of revolving door opportunities were created to coordinate war-related industrial production. Industrial opportunities opened the power elite's door to Federal Executive politicians and to the military, people who themselves were not wealthy but who controlled taxpayer money. Mills provides extensive discussion of the Eisenhower administration but specifically excludes most of the Congress from his power elite definition: while Congress controls the taxpayer purse strings, Congress simply cannot absorb the detailed knowledge of running the Federal Executive or the Pentagon. And the Cold War following World War Two put the United States on a somewhat permanent war footing: the industrial / Federal Executive / military's power elite portal endured.

Mills' study was published originally in 1956 during the Eisenhower administration. It is somewhat ironic IMO that C. Wright Mills' study omits President Eisenhower's January 17, 1961 parting caution: "This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. We must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist."

I figured it would be an expose on the 'who's who' of the time.
As soon as I started reading I realized I was going to be disappointed in the fact it was not.
But once that wore off - I realized what I had in my possession.
A complete, extremely thorough, breakdown of how corporatism had taken over our society as of 1959.
Thorough enough to make the staunchest defenders of contemporary narratives, both right and left, go quiet and realize they don't know anything.
You don't know American society until you've read this book.
And you will be shocked to find out the pessimist guessers are far closer to reality than those who 'tow the establishment line'.
For the record: it was written in 1959.
The nation being taken over by corporatism was only acknowledged by a fraction of people, probably only historians, and the reality of the banking hegemony that rules the world - doesn't even get brought up.
The military gets major mentions, as it was the rise of the Cold War - before the symptoms of the banking hegemony had started making absolute economic gains in total trade (1990s) - 'communist nations' being brought under the umbrella of Manchester liberalism. (The fall of the USSR, the building up of China, etc.)
Because globalism hadn't taken the economic spotlight yet, there of course is no mention of foreign interests at play in the power structure, nor the rise of power in the monolithic intelligence community that formed in the proceeding decades.
I wish a 2020 version of this book existed.

Many books I have purchased are not intended for the mass population. Why? Many are asleep and like it that way.
