【1】Principles of Government - Historical Figures

C. Wright Mills

⤮ Wrote "The Power of the Elite".

    ↪ Main Idea: The government is controlled by by business, politics, and military.

            Points:

        ↪ The elite controls the economy to prevent poorer people from 

             advancing.

            ↪ The rich give themselves government positions to direct 

                 resources to themselves.

        ↪ Force is used to keep order so that the average person can stay 

            content in a system that's actively limiting their potential.
