The result is a powerful theoretical structure, supported by a fascinating body of evidence. In it, you can find the largest changes in human relations of modern times." - The Nation Praise for The Ideology of Power and The Power of Ideology: "A tour de force which is always thoughtful and challenging." - British Book News "Seminal." - Times Literary Supplement
