Power, Politics, and People: The Collected Essays of C. Wright Mills

Many of the late C. Wright Mills's most important statements about modern culture and society appeared in magazines and journals and were not readily available to the large audience interested in him and his ideas. This book collects in one volume these essays, which range in time from the early 1940's to the early 1960's and in scope from original reinterpretations of sociological theory in scholarly journals to trenchant remarks on the contemporary scene in magazines like the Saturday Review and The New Leader. Taken together, these essays are the clearest expression of Mills's original vision of society. This book repesents, for the first time, Mills's thought in all its facets.
