Questioning ‘supply and demand’
In 1948, W. E. B. Dubois declared, ‘Probably the greatest and most effective effort toward interracial understanding among the working masses has come about through...the organization of the CIO (Congress of Industrial Organizations) in 1935.’ Yet the CIO's role in shaping race relations and patterns of interracial inequality has been largely overlooked by contemporary scholars of race. Drawing from an ongoing research program on the relative eff…

Black and White, Unite and Fight
How do the policies and practices of rival workers’ organizations affect the level of racial inequality under advanced capitalism? This article addresses this theoretical question by assessing how the interracial unions of the Congress of Industrial Organizations, as opposed to the racially exclusionist affiliates of the American Federation of Labor, affected the level of employment equality between black and white workers during the 1940s. The s…

Union Democracy, Radical Leadership, and the Hegemony of Capital
Are democratic or authoritarian unions more effective in defending and advancing workers' interests? Generally, the answers given are untheoretical, agnostic, or impressionistic-and unsupported by systematic empirical studies. The theory guiding our analysis is that a union with a democratic constitution, institutionalized opposition, and an active membership would tend to constitute a worker's immediate political community and sustain both class…

Red' Unions and 'Bourgeois' Contracts
What are the effects of the political consciousness of union leaders-and thus of the struggles they lead-in shaping the "political regime of production," that is, the political relations through which the capital/labor relation in the sphere of production is defined, regulated, and enforced? In the prevailing functionalist theory, whether in its "pluralist" or "Marxist" variant, the effects are nil: union leaders cannot transcend the labor union'…
The Composition of the Chilean Capitalist Class
Political Power and Social Theory
Landlords and Capitalists
In 1974, Maurice Zeitlin published a seminal article in American Journal of Sociology, criticizing managerial theory and evidence, which ended one era in the analysis of the large corporation's ownership and control and began a new one. He called for research on the capitalist class that would reveal its inner structure--particularly the interaction of family ties, property, and business leadership in the large corporation. But, despite the subse…
"Who Gets the Bird?" or, How the Communists Won Power and Trust in America's Unions
Do intraclass struggles shape the political terrain on which ensuing struggles, within and between classes, are fought and resolved? Out attempt to answer this question focuses on the rivalry among the factions and parties involved in American industrial workers from the late 1930s on. We assess how the political practices of the Communists and their rivals determined which political camp won power in the new CIO unions. A logit model shows that …
Finance capital and the internal structure of the capitalist class in the United States
A handful of immense banks, concentrating within their coffers the bulk of the assets and deposits of the entire banking system and providing much of the loans and credits for industry, are the decisive units in the circulation of capital in contemporary capitalist economies. With this consolidation of oligopoly in banking itself, the amount of loans and credits granted by the leading banks actually determines the amount of money deposited with t…

The Civil Wars in Chile
This penetrating sociological study of the causes, consequences, and historical meaning of the civil wars in mid- and late-nineteenth century Chile argues that they were abortive bourgeois revolutions fought out among rival segments of Chile's dominant class. Indeed, it concludes that, in general, not only class but also intraclass struggles can be decisive historically, especially at transitional moments. Originally published in 1984. The Prince…

Corporate Ownership and Control
An "astonishing consensus" exists among academic social scientists concerning the impact of the alleged separation of ownership and control in large corporations on the class structures and political economies of the United States and similar countries. The question is whether this separation is a "pseudofact," which has, therefore, inspired incorrect "explanations," "inferences," and "theories," namely, that the presumed separation has either tr…
Class Segments
This is an analysis of the relationship between large landownership and representative political activity as one expression of political hegemony in the capitalist of Chile in the mid-1960s. We conceptualize landed corporate executives and principal owners of capital and their non-landed counterparts in the largest corporations as distinct class segments; and we analyze their comparative officeholding in parliament and cabinet ministries and in t…

Miners and Agrarian Radicalism
New Princes' for Old? The Large Corporation and the Capitalist Class in Chile
This is a study of the ownership and control of the 37 largest corporations in Chile in 1964-66. Using the method of Berle and Means, we found a pattern of "management-control" in Chile similar to the one they found in the United States. However, our method, employing the concepts of "kinecon group" and "intercorporate control," reveals that all but one of the 15 ostensibly "management-controlled" corporations were actually controlled by specific…
The Working-Class Vote in Chile
There is abundant comparative evidence that political parties differ substantially in the support they receive from different social classes, whether or not their appeals manifestly have class content. In particular, Socialist and Communist parties, for reasons inherent in their theoretical position and political programmes, have focused their organizational efforts and agitational appeals on urban industrial workers. And, wherever such parties h…

Research Methods for the Analysis of the Internal Structure of Dominant Classes
Capitalism is profoundly conditioned by the types of landed property and agrarian classes it confronts in its development, thereby determining fundamental features of the historically specific "social formation" that emerges in a given capitalist country. Such a social formation is not merely split into the constituent classes unique to the capitalist mode of production, but also incorporates, as Marx wrote of Western European capitalism, "strata…
Economic Insecurity and the Political Attitudes of Cuban Workers
Analysis of data from interviews with Cuban workers reveals that, among Negroes and whites, those who experienced the most pre-revolutionary unemployment were most likely to support the revolution and, among whites but not among Negroes, to be pro-Communist before the revolution. Those who were securely employed both before and since the revolution were less likely to be revolutionary than those who were employed more regularly since the revoluti…

Political Generations in the Cuban Working Class
Cuba has been characterized by abrupt political and social transitions, and Cubans have interpreted their history to a significant extent in generational terms. This study is based on interviews with 202 Cuban industrial workers. Hypotheses were formulated in accordance with the concept of political generation. Each political generation, both in the aggregate and in structural (employment-status) subgroups, had prerevolutionary attitudes toward t…

Revolutionary Workers and Individual Liberties
Analysis of Cuban revolutionary workers' attitudes toward liberties for the revolution's opponents shows that relative political involvement and educational level determine the likelihood that one is politically "authoritarian," not that one is a worker or has grown up in the working-class, or is a Communist or a revolutionary worker. Formal education and political interest relate directly to advocacy of free speech; workers socialized in the mid…
