The American Corporate Network, 1904-1974.

Mizruchi presents a thorough historical examination of interlocking corporate directorates in America between 1904 and 1974. Examining over 167 major American corporations through most of the 20th century, Mizruchi provides new understanding of the changing structure of the American corporate elite. His well researched, methodologically sophisticated book will be of value to a wide range of social scientists. 'The American Corporate Network represents the latest and most comprehensive attempt to understand the structural characteristics of the corporate network formed by interlocking directorates...this is a solid research monograph on an important issue. It provides a comprehensive introduction to one of the most exciting areas of research in economic and political sociology.' -- Contemporary Sociology, July 1984
