The Thatcherite Bildungsroman
In 1987, Margaret Thatcher said ‘there is no such thing as society’. If the classic Bildungsroman moves toward integration into the social order, how does the genre register the British 1980s’ valorisation of autonomy over solidarity? The plots of what I call the Thatcherite Bildungsroman exploit the unstable marriage between traditionalist ‘Victorian Values’ and transformative ‘creative destruction’. The Thatcherite ideal of self-development thr…

Critical Discourse and the Cultural Consecration of American Films
This research examines the effects of contemporaneous critical professional and popular recognition, as well as the effects of the extent of subsequent critical discourse about films and their directors, on the retrospective cultural consecration of American films. Specifically, it examines a sample of 1,277 films released from 1929 to 1991 that received three or more major Academy Award nominations or were selected among the ten best films of th…

Capitalist Response to State Intervention
Three theories of the -corporate liberal, hegemonic competition, and state autonomy offer different explanations for capitalist involvement in the New Deal coalition. I evaluate these three theoretical explanations by examining the contributions to the U.S. presidential campaign of 1936 made by three segments of the capitalist class: members of wealthy capitalist families, elites, and members of the of interlocking directors. Find that although o…
Well-Fertilized Family Trees
Class Hegemony and Political Finance
This research examines the campaign contributions of 629 members of 100 wealthy capitalist families to the presidential campaign of 1972, the last campaign conducted without any limits on individual contributions. The analysis reveals that roughly half of the members of these families contributed little or nothing to this presidential campaign, but other family members were often major contributors. Family members who were most visible as corpora…
Corporate Profits and Cooptation
The identification of interlock groups in large corporate networks
Power and Privilege in the Large Corporation
The research presented here investigates the relative utility of a power theory versus a functional theory of organizational stratification as they pertain to managerial compensation in the large corporation. Concretely, it examines the effects of different types and levels of corporate control, adjusted for the effects of corporate size and performance, on three dimensions of compensation among 218 industrial corporations during 1975 and 1976. I…
Continuity and Change Within the Core Corporate Elite
This study examines the core corporate elite in both 1935 and 1970 in order to assess three alternative theoretical explanations of the composition of this elite. The elite members are identified as those 83 individuals in 1935 and those 70 individuals in 1970 who served as directors of four or more of the 200 largest nonfinancial and the 50 largest financial corporations. The three explanations of the social characteristics and institutional aff…
Management Control in the Large Corporation
The European Administrative Elite
Although there have been other studies of elite administrators in France, Great Britain, Germany, and Russia, John Armstrong has made the first systematic comparison of their roles, especially their inclination to participate in economic development. Drawing on role theory and theories of socialization and recruitment, he analyzes the influences that family, secondary school, specialized university instruction, and in-service experiences have had…
The Structure of Interorganizational Elite Cooptation
Interorganizational elite cooptation, in the form of interlocking corporate directorates, is viewed as a cooperative strategy between economic organizations for reducing sources of uncertainty in their environments. Specifically, corporate interlocking is a means of anticipating or controlling sources of uncertainty stemming from the potentially disruptive unilateral actions of other corporations. In order to examine the relevant hypotheses, two …
Construction of Composite Measures by the Canonical-Factor-Regression Method
This is an extended version of a paper presented to the Methodology Section of the American Sociological Association at the 1973 annual meeting in New York. The author is indebted to David R. Heise, Herbert L. Costner, Arthur S. Goldberger, Hubert M. Blalock, and Lois MacGillivray for their critical and constructive comments on earlier versions of this paper. Any errors, of course, are the sole responsibility of the author
