The importance of the book stems from the fact that this is one of the rare volumes which attempts a concrete investigation of a local power structure in a major American city-in this case St. Louis. Too much pluralistic writing takes place at local levels, such as New Haven and Oberlin, while too many power concentration approaches take into account primarily national and even inter national factors, leaving out of their reckoning more immediate variables related to community organization that may explain the functioning of power in American life. -from the Foreword by IRVING LOUIS HOROWITZ
