The Carlyle Group raises all kinds of questions about who holds power and what the purposes of that power are. "Class" may be a relevant concept here, but to me it seems a little too tied to earlier eras, when who hled power was more easily recognizable than it is today. What seems to have emerged in modern society is something that is far less obvious and much more able to exercise power through extensive, invisible networks. It raises the question of who George Bush really is. Is he the President of the United States in the same sense as Lincoln, Roosevelt, Kennedy, and, yes, even Nixon, were? Or is he the front man for interests that we cannot see and are not permitted to understand? Or is he both of those things? Can he be both of those things?
