Sociologist Domhoff argues that there is a power elite in the United States comprising a corporate community, a social upper class, and a policy formation network that intersect with each other in significant ways and score at the top of four power indicators who benefits, who governs, who wins on policy disagreements, and who is thought to be powerful. Using network and content analysis he demonstrates how this elite interacts with foundations, think tanks, policy discussion groups, public relation firms and the electoral system to continue their power and examines the processes of the social bonds that form the elite into a cohesive social class with common interests and views.
