@RBReich As the great C. Wright Mills wrote in his 1956 classic, #ThePowerElite, power flows from institutional position. CEOs, bureaucrats, Joint Chiefs, foundation chiefs and others who command the large institutions make the decisions that rule our lives.

@Steve_Sailer Easy. Refer back to The Master: C. Wright Mills 1956 classic #ThePowerElite. Thomas Dye did an interesting update in #WhoIsRunningAmerica in 2014. Not much since then that I know of--alas. Huge hole that needs to be filled.

@Jpdavi4 According to the definitive book on Eisenhower's famous speech, "Unwarrented Influence," the ideas came from sociologist C. Wright Mills. The term "Military Industrial Complex" appears to be a WW2 military term for bombing targets. #ThePowerElite

@kausmickey @jonathanchait Strongly agree with your assessment of #Chait. #Lind is in the tradition of his fellow Texan C. Wright Mills, especially the latter's masterpiece #ThePowerElite. Like Mills, Lind's last book focuses on the managerial elite. Very respectable perspective that has become politicized

@VivekGRamaswamy 'Been true for a long time. See the classic work C. Wright Mills #ThePowerElite. (Though today the concentration of wealth and power is on a global level. Nation-state is seen as "twentieth century.")
