Features: Written in 1936, this book is not only an early representative work by Harold D. himself but also a representative work of the behaviorist school during that period. In this work, the author proposes that political science is the study of power and powerful figures. A powerful figure is one who acquires the most attainable values (such as respect, security, and income) among those who can obtain them. Those who acquire the most values are the elite, while the rest are the masses. The elite primarily achieve their specific goals by controlling the environment through methods such as symbols, violence, material resources, and practical measures.
