stairway to Heaven. Dialogues about power, career and global elite (№ 440128)

Power is a matter so familiar to everyone that no one thinks about it, just as no one thinks about breathing oxygen or speaking their native language. The Art of Power is mastered by its participants in practice, through long (and often painful) training, and its top is reached more by chance than by outstanding skill. That is why the most powerful social force on the planet - Power - still remains outside the field of view of scientists. The material resources used by the Power are studied by economists, human resources - by physicians, psychologists and sociologists, the course of events - by historians.
