Preferred term

C. Wright Mills  

Definition

  • C. Wright Mills was a social theorist who is best known for his important contributions to the sociology of power and the theories of social inequality and social organization. Committed to the critical understanding of modern capitalist societies, Mills was against the sort of intellectualism that, in the name of axiological neutrality, distances itself from political life. [Source: Encyclopedia of Power; Mills, C. Wright (1916–1962)]
