[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 816675, member: 2189"] Your comment made me think of G. William Domhoff's 1967' book [URL="http://sociology.ucsc.edu/whorulesamerica/"][COLOR=red]"Who Rules America"[/COLOR][/URL] that argues the existence of a heirarchial or power elite but they are not covert but very overt in their institutional power. No conspiracies, secret handshakes and other cloat and dagger nonsense. There are later updated editions. And Domhoff argues it's not individual, personal power like a David Rockerfeller runs it all but rather these people all belong to the same institutions (networking perfected if you will) and it's these institutions that live on throughout the years and individuals aspire to those institutional ranks and from there outwards they get to play big boy ball while we "little people" get to sit in the stands and cheer them on. I mean, no matter which party is in power, the head guy over Treasury seems more often than not to come from Goldman-Sachs. How is that? We aren't important enough to attend a BuildABurger meeting. No sliced American cheese allowed. I am hoping this fall to attend the [URL="http://www.jackdaniels.com/Happenings/default.aspx?id=106"][COLOR=red]EatARib meeting[/COLOR] [/URL]up at Jack Daniels however! :happy-very: [/QUOTE]
