Sobre este item
New York: Oxford University Press, 1957. First Edition, Fourth Printing in the year of publication. 8vo, publisher’s original black cloth, lettered in silver and blue on the spine, and in the illustrated dustjacket. [vi], 423 pp. A fine copy with only minor rubbing to the edges of the dustjacket. FIRST EDITION, EARLY PRINTING OF THIS GROUNDBREAKING WORK AND THEORY OF SOCIETAL POWER. Mills depicts the style of life of the men and women at the pinnacles of fame, power and fortune in mid-century America. Celebrities and the Big Rich, Admirals and Generals, Politicians and Corporation Executives are examined - as well as the nature of the mass society of which these higher circles now constitute the elite. The author theorized in this work, a book still important for its insights, that these groups form a center of power in our society that is tightly knit and basically irresponsible. The ideas and conclusions in the book continue to be provocative to this day.
