David M. Hart, along with Walter E. Grinder, have been my mentors in discovering answers to these probing questions. David has undertaken unparalleled scholarly research which will last and endure for generations. We all owe him an intellectual debt which we can never fully repay. As our LRC readers know, power elite analysis has been the primary intellectual interest in my life since hearing Walter lecture on it in 1978 at the Cato Institute First Summer Seminar in Political Economy at Wake Forrest University. David’s brilliant editorship of The Humane Studies Review: A Research and Study Guide, proved invaluable to me in more ways than I can count.

Here is David’s latest, monumental work-in-progress, the definitive culmination of a distinguished lifetime of achievement.

And here is his amazing schematic on State Power and Class Structure.
