- ”In brief, Domhoff, we believe, has added immeasurably to our empirical understanding of certain key themes and claims in research on American society and politics. He should not be attacked for failing to probe questions and issues he did not propose; his critics should do more of the legwork themselves.” (p. 977)

- ”Only a couple of decades ago, scholars could still speak with some plausibility of The Power Elite (C. Wright Mills, 1956), The Protestant Establishment (E. Digby Baltzel, 1964), or The Higher Circles (G. William Domhoff, 1970). Today, the authors' precise inventories of the Social institutions that were thought to sustain the ruling class were almost comical. "A person is considered to be a member of the upper class," Domhoff wrote in introducing one such inventory, "if his sister, wife, mother, or mother-in-law attended one of the following schools or belongs to one of the following groups...” (p. 56)

- ”He is about the only author around who has sought to describe "The Higher Circles" or has even asked "Who Rules America?" As the only horse in the race, he is bound to win. In consequence, anyone looking for readings on the American elite is compelled to assign Domhoff's mines of misinformation. If he is the only available successor to the mantle once worn by C. Wright Mills, these are clearly hard times for American radicalism.” (p. 422)

- ”Domhoff appears to be proposing an eclectic solution to the problem of studying com- munity power. He takes the approaches followed by Marxists, elitists, and pluralists and accepts the theoretical relevance of each of these schools. The weakness of his formulation is its atheoretical nature; there is no theoretical rationale presented that integrates the three approaches. On the other hand, Domhoff is correct in his holistic approach to the study of power structures. What is needed is art approach that takes into account both decisional processes and the broader systemic context that shapes and constrains decision making. Although Domhoff is unable to provide an adequate framework, his formula- tion does point in the correct direction for future research.” (p. 157)

- ”In summary, it is a sophisticated book and broad in scope. Privilege and influence are well documented. One learns how the upper class defends its position. The distinction between the moderate and the far right wings breaks down the conception of a monolithic ruling class. On the other side, Domhoff does not demonstrate how the ruling class initiates change as he promises to do. Secondly, he does not demonstrate that the ruling class has control over events. Instead, he shows how it influences, warps, modifies, distorts, and blunts change.” (p.281)

- ”The United States today presents the curious spectacle of a capitalist society in which the capitalist class plays an altogether negligible role. No theory has yet managed to capture the ironies and contradictions of such a situation, and Domhoff’s ruling-class theory does not even come close.” (p. 483)
- ↑ Feagin, Joe R. Review of Power Structure Research, by G. William Domhoff. Contemporary Sociology, Vol. 10, No. 4, July 1981. pp. 589-590. JSTOR 2067765
- ”Since it is impossible to do more than survey these many excellent articles in a short review, I will in this concluding paragraph explore only an article I found extremely provocative: "Think Tanks and Capitalist Policy" by Irvine Alpert and Ann Markusen. Since they treat class consciousness of academics at two think tanks, including the prominent liberal Brookings Institution, these authors deal intimately with issues lived by academics. Many social scientists, inside and outside Brookings, regard Brookings as an independent think tank. Yet this research analysis shows clearly just how dependent and compromised this distinguished organization is.” (p. 590)

- ”Apart from heightened respect for the southern wing of business power, the major new element here is that Domhoff now roots his work in Michael Mann's conception of power; as a system of networks - political, military, economic, and ideological. This neo-Weberian model lends itself to a Millsian view of power, but unfortunately Domhoff does not rigorously apply Mann's idea throughout the book. Where, for example, do military and ideological networks fit in the present scheme of things? This is a notable loose end in an otherwise provocative book.” (p. 562)

- ”Blacks in the White Elite continues the authors' tracking of a set of young African Americans who were selected to attend some of the nation's most prestigious private secondary schools and then, probably by virtue of this advantage, to gain admission to selective colleges and universities. It tracks thirty-eight women and men through in views to learn how they have-or have not-earned access to options of power in our society.” (p. 65)

- ”This latest work by G. William Domhoff aims to reassert the superiority of his ‘class dominance’ theory in explaining policy making in America. His ‘counterattack’ (p. 3) targets Theda Skocpol and her band of ‘state autonomy’ theorists. Domhoffs counterattack has four prongs - three substantive and one methodological.” (p. 317)

- ”’Has the power elite become multicultural?’ is the question framing this study of race, gender, trends in the group's representation in the corporate and political leaders in the l990s. Expanding their previous studies of Jews and African Americans in elite positions, Richard L. Zweigenhaft and G. William Domhoff examine the representation of six major groups in the power elite and Congress. They seek to test systematically mass media portrayals of a new diversity at the top and to see what effects any such diversity has on elite functioning.” (p. 289)

- ”The team of social psychologist Richard Zweigenhaft and sociologist G. William Domhoff takes us back to their first book on this subject, Blacks in the White Establishment (New Haven: Yale University Press 1991), and carries us forward in this follow-up study, approximately fifteen years from the time of the original interviews that started the query into the upward mobility for African Americans via the route of higher education.” (p. 55)
- ↑ Crenson, Matthew A. Review of The Leftmost City: Power and Progressive Politics In Santa Cruz, by Richard Gendron & G. William Domhoff. Perspectives on Politics, Vol. 8, No. 2, June 2010. pp. 686-689. JSTOR 25698664
- ”Gendron and Domhoff recognize that the "institutionalization of a politically liberal and activist student culture" in Santa Cruz was a matter of historical timing and coincidence. A liberal arts university attractive to student "seekers" took shape against the background of protest against the Vietnam War and tinged the politics of a city. Unfortunately, this historical perspective does not seem to extend to the "theories of urban power" that the authors evaluate. These are treated as ahistorical constructs to be tested against evidence plucked from history, rather than as expressions of historically conditioned political regimes.” (p. 689)
- ↑ Phillips-Fein, Kim. Class and Power in the New Deal: Corporate Moderates, Southern Democrats, and the Liberal-Labor Coalition, by G. William Domhoff & Michael J. Webber. The Journal of American History, Vol. 99, No. 1, Oil in American History, June 2012. p. 341. JSTOR 41510398
- ”Domhoff and Webber work in the "power elite" tradition of C. Wright Mills, examining how networks of economic influence shape politics even in an overtly democratic system. The book frequently refers back to theoretical debates in the field of political science instead of providing a narrative account. In part because of this, their account leaves many questions unanswered: perhaps most importantly, why did corporate moderates — to the extent that they did — abandon their earlier ambivalence toward social regulation during the New Deal era?” (p. 341)
- ↑ Ymonet, Paul Lagneau. Review of The Myth of Liberal Ascendancy: Corporate Dominance From the Great Depression to the Great Recession, by G. William Domhoff. Contemporary Sociology, Vol. 44, No. 5, September 2015. pp. 655-657. JSTOR 43996504
- ”A specter is haunting U.S. domestic politics: mid-twentieth century "liberalism." Progressive nostalgia and horrified recollections of the ‘New Deal’ and the ‘Great Society’ reinforce themselves. The Myth of Liberal Ascendancy refutes such Janus-like perspectives and asserts an alternative narrative: increasing corporate dominance since the late 1930s.” (p. 655)
- ↑ Ben-Ami, Daniel. Review of “Studying the Power Elite” by G. William Domhoff. Financial Times, October 19, 2017.
- ”In broad terms, there are two traditional camps at either end of the spectrum in the debate on class power. At one end are self-proclaimed Marxists who see the state as an instrument of class domination. From their perspective, the ownership of the means of production enables a wealthy class of business owners to rule the rest of society. At the other end is the pluralist school. In its view, there are many social mechanisms that ensure power in the US is diffused. These include competing interest groups, voluntary associations and the influence of public opinion.”

- ”If you have never read the original Who Rules America? it is still worth reading. I read the book in college and was a true believer in his analysis. When you look at all of the sociology of that 1960’s era, few books proved more transformative and ultimately more correct than Domhoff’s 1967 edition. Those familiar with the original will get a kick out of this new volume. I am hard pressed to think of another book which has the author so vigorously defending himself from his critics. And when all is said and done, even the strongest critics in the new book recognize that on the big picture question of class power, Bill Domhoff’s 1967 analysis remains largely correct.”

- ”This volume adds to a literature of elite theory that is already substantial. The import of these essays, though, remains impressive. They are worthy additions to building elite theory. Several of the essays explore areas that are in need of further investigation. Their relevance is further enhanced by the inclusion of a helpful bibliography and index.”
