The Triumph of the Corporate Rich and How They Succeeded (Domhoff, 2015) 

Bill Domhoff discusses how and why the Corporate Rich decisively defeated the Liberal-Labor Coalition in the 20th century. The talk covers many topics from his 2013 book, The Myth of Liberal Ascendancy, as well as more general themes about the power elite and the rise and fall of labor unions in the U.S.
