Power elite - New York Oxford University Press 1950 - 424p.

In this fascinating and controversial study of the organization of our society, Mr. Mills depicts the style of life of the men and women at the pinnacles of fame and power and fortune in America today. 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.
