Domhoff names names in the structure without conceptualizing it adequately. It's a much more "American" way of going at the issue. At the other extreme, people conceptualize the structure elaborately but do not name any names.  Though each has its advantages and disadvantages, a blend of both is best.

whatever gave you above idea?

re. domhoff, his study of social backgrounds of powerful white men was significant contribution to wright's 'power elite' theory in indicated further interlocking directorate of such types...

still, if origins of this theory were leftist, it was
attractive and popular enough to be appropriated by
political right via dye's 'irony of democracy' notion that "masses are asses" such that it is 'responsible elite' that guarantees democracy as well as more generalized rightist claim of 'eastern liberal establishment'... michael hoover
