1. It is undeniable that at present in America political power and economic power go hand in hand. Now that I have elaborated my discussion of that relationship in my two-part lecture, what is your expanded understanding of that relationship applicable to any society?
2. like many citizens of the United States, students don't really feel an involvement in politics at the local and national levels. Do you think he is wrong?
3. How might Weber versus Marx differ in their understanding of social class and thus differ about the sources of political power?
4. The instructor is skeptical about the validity of the pluralist model of power structure in the U.S. Why might he favor a power elite model , Mills or Domhoff's,instead of a pluralist model?
