Politics

Politics: Who Gets What, When, How is the classic analysis of power and manipulation by ruling elites and counter-elites. The themes that occur throughout this essay have become the guideposts for most modern research in techniques of propaganda and political organization.

"For over three decades the students of politics have had their intellectual horizons constantly broadened by Harold Lasswell. There is probably no man in American political science who has brought to bear as many new approaches to the analysis of political behavior as he has. There is perhaps no better way to get the essence of Lasswell's thought than in his book, Politics: Who Gets What, When, How."
