Description:
David Metzger interviews (by phone) sociologist, G. William Domhoff and author of the book, Who Rules America, about the "fat cats and democrats", "the higher circles" that influence American politics. Domhoff says that President Carter's appointments in government confirm his latest research on who is a member of the ruling social class seen by "power indicators" such as concentration of wealth, disproportionate representation in government positions, monopolization of expertise, and ability to intervene into government processes to maintain their interests.
