Testing Theories of American Politics: Elites, Interest Groups, and Average Citizens
[NOTE: The study concludes that the United States is dominated by a rich and powerful elite and hence it is an OLIGARCHY, not a DEMOCRACY. *** DEFINITION of "OLIGARCHY": government by the few, especially despotic power exercised by a small and privileged group for corrupt or selfish purposes.***]
