This volume, a second edition of what has become a major work of American sociological thought, demonstrates how the conditions and styles of middle class life - originating from elements of both the newer lower and upper classes - represent modern society as a whole. In his thesis, by examining white-collar life, Mills aimed to learn something about what was becoming more typically "American" than the once-famous Western frontier character. He painted a picture instead of a society that had evolved into a business-based milieu, viewing America instead as a great salesroom, an enormous file, and a new universe of management. Russell Jacoby, author of "The End of Utopia" and "The Last Intellectuals" contributes an afterword to this edition, in which he reflects on the impact the book had at its original publication and considers what it means to society in the 21st century.

过去的中产阶级（私有农场主、商人、个体职业）随着工业化改革过渡为新兴中产阶级（管理者、销售、办公人员、职业人士），所需的技能与要求随之改变，伴随着公司结构理性化、官僚化、物化，最终形成权力结构。现代工作不但不能满足理想式的Craftsmanship,反而由技能、工资、地位与权力所主导。白领阶级自视获存高的声望和体面的成功工作，但放眼整个社会结构无非是新兴的“无产”阶级。即便白领工会化，依旧不同于农... 过去的中产阶级（私有农场主、商人、个体职业）随着工业化改革过渡为新兴中产阶级（管理者、销售、办公人员、职业人士），所需的技能与要求随之改变，伴随着公司结构理性化、官僚化、物化，最终形成权力结构。现代工作不但不能满足理想式的Craftsmanship,反而由技能、工资、地位与权力所主导。白领阶级自视获存高的声望和体面的成功工作，但放眼整个社会结构无非是新兴的“无产”阶级。即便白领工会化，依旧不同于农民，受政治自由、个体产权等自由意识形态影响，只能成为历史潮流的后卫而非掀起革命的力量。第六章黑教职黑得爽快，米尔斯分析事物总是很犀利，令人欣喜。Chris (展开)
