About this product

Product Information

It is an exciting time to consider the question of who rules America. Indeed, it is an exciting time to consider the question of who might rule the country a few years from now. The sixth edition of G. William Domhoff's classic text Who Rules America? Challenges to Corporate and Class Dominance describes how power and influence are exercised in American society, while focusing specifically on the shifting tide represented by the election of Barack Obama to the presidency. Features of the Sixth Edition A reflection on how the Bush administration's mistakes led to the replacement of a corporate-conservative coalition with a centrist-liberal-labor coalition. An emphasis on how Democrats now have control of the White House and Congress for the first time without a conservative Southern wing to hold them back. An examination of how money flows from corporations and foundations to think tanks, policy-discussion groups, and opinion-shaping organizations, and how the corporate rich use these groups to shape public policy. A final chapter providing a list of critical issues students can look at to see if the Obama administration is favoring corporations or supporting the initiatives of liberals and labor unions. An author's Web site, www.whorulesamerica.net, featuring detailed analyses of several of the issues discussed in the book. Book jacket.

  • Informative but from a predictably biased perspective

    I felt compelled to read this because a friend was ranting about "Bohemians" and big corporations and, generally, spouting doom and gloom. I find that the book provides an informative cataloging of American societal groups and corporate groups. However, the perspective is from a socialist-leaning one. I also find that the descriptions of how America is shaped and controlled by the rich and successful are ironic because the author obviously intended the book to point out the faults and dangers of such influence. Instead, the book shows how successful people and groups succeed: get a good education and surround oneself with successful people. Also, the book implies that there's something wrong with the way America has been run and is being run and that things must change. ...
