Document Summary
Chapter 11: testing for a class-dominance view of the federal government. What do the presidential administrations of kennedy, reagan and clinton all have in. All appointed people from the corporate community to important government positions. No, they never hold positions long enough to become completely independent of the corporate community; their independence from their company is only temporary. It"s possible, but very unlikely because with the time that they"re in their government position, they"re busy pushing agendas that benefit them, and the people of their class, personally. Many corporate executives turned policy makers return to corporate jobs as powerful elites after spending time in the government. It shows that policy is heavily influenced by the opinion of people who work in corporate job in the first place, meaning their opinions, needs and wants get to shape the law. The information strongly suggests that the elite controls the power in politics. The interest of the wealthy is represented.
