Description
Politics: Who Gets What, When, How is the classic analysis of power and manipulation by ruling elites and counter-elites. The themes that occur throughout this essay have become the guideposts for most modern research in techniques of propaganda and political organization. "It is unquestionably one of the most influential treatments of politics published in this century." David B. Truman, Professor of Public Law and Government, Columbia University "This book is a landmark of modern political science." Daniel Lerner, Professor of Sociology, Mass. Institute of Technology "For over three decades the students of politics have had their intellectual horizons constantly broadened by Harold Lasswell. There is probably no man in American political science who has brought to bear as many new approaches to the analysis of political behavior as he has. There is perhaps no better way to get the essence of Lasswell's thought than in his book, Politics: Who Gets What, When, How." Seymour Martin Lipset, Department of Sociology, University of California at Berkeley
