I’m very happy to add these classics to my library. C. Wright Mills was a great sociologist, a particularly bright star in a golden age of American organisational analysis. The observations in “White Collar” resonate 70 years on, which is an apt reminder of how continuity prevails over change. I am less familiar with “The Power Elite” but have seen it cited here and there and power relations infuse everything, hence my interest. It’s a topic and dynamic from which there is no escape. It may be years until I get round to reading them but I know it will be an absolute treat when I do.
