The structure of the American economy Book

This book has some interesting insights into power and authority. I had the good fortune to be taking an online course with Starhawk while I read the book. So, I could go over some of the material which was written when she was a graduate student and we could look at it from a different perspective. She really does have some excellent ideas, but she confuses power with having to have status... Sometimes, having power doesn't have to be equated with having status on a social scale. In fact, if you aren't expecting to rise into the power structure as defined by the book, you can do a lot more for yourself and more damage to the mainstream power structure that we live in.
