Through structural and kinetic power - the sway of one's position in the economic structure and the deployment of resources in the policy process - the wealthy shape the overall agenda and the policy outcomes that follow. Through this theoretical framework, the authors illuminate a core challenge facing democracy as practiced in the United States, where economic elites hold disproportionate influence in the policy process and frequently hijack the policy agenda"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Wealth $x Political aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Power (Social sciences) $x Economic aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Social stratification $x Political aspects $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Economic policy. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government. 650 7 $a Economic policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00902025 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Power (Social sciences) $x Economic aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01074222 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 700 1 $a Morgan, Jana, $d 1977- $e author. 700 1 $a Kelly, Nathan J., $e author. 700 1 $a Enns, Peter $q (Peter K.), $e author. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Witko, Christopher. $t Hijacking the agenda. $d New York, NY : Russell Sage Foundation, [2021] $z 9781610449052 $w (OCoLC)1221017314 $w (OCoLC)1221017314 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20231103012303.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20230517010551.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=138EBF12AF2611EC897049F049ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
