The Global Industrial Complex

Systems of Domination

Más información sobre el libro

This groundbreaking collection of essays features leading scholars who examine the complex global structures of hegemonic power, termed "the power complex," first analyzed by C. Wright Mills in 1956. Edited by Steven Best, Richard Kahn, Anthony J. Nocella II, and Peter McLaren, the volume presents the power complex as interdependent systems of domination that are increasingly pervasive worldwide. These transnational institutional relationships intertwine capitalist exploitation with industrial norms of efficiency and control. While some analyses treat these entities as separate, this book uniquely explores them as overlapping and mutually reinforcing systems that will shape the macro-narrative of the 21st century and beyond. The global industrial complex represents a significant challenge to the sustainability of democracy, freedom, and peace. However, meaningful opposition can only arise once it is widely recognized and understood. This collection aims to contribute foundational knowledge to this crucial educational and political endeavor.
