520 _aBooks on power the ability of individuals or groups to win the submission of others to their purpose have an established pattern; they deal with economic power, political power, military power, religious power and the like. This usage, it is here held, conceals as much as it reveals. This book deals with the deeper and enduring components of power: thus its title. The Anatomy of Power. The author begins with the three ways by which all power is enforced - by the threat and reality of punishment of condign power; by compensation or compensatory power; by persuasion. appeal to belief, or conditioned power. Then he takes up the sources of power its origins in personality, in property and in organisation. Organisation and the closely associated exercise of conditioned power receive particular attention; they are the most important modern manifestation of power.
