Power is not given, power is taken - how many times have you heard these words and how many times have you repeated them without thinking about their meaning. Meanwhile, violent seizure of power in any country is the gravest crime, and attempts to "take power" end not on the throne, but on the scaffold. How did it happen that the popular opinion about Power became an advertisement of the criminal and dead-end way to it, and how do ordinary people actually become people of Power? In their book, Khazin and Scheglov offer the reader a completely new interpretation of the essence of Power, detailing all stages of power career - from an ordinary employee of a corporation to a high-ranking representative of the world elite. Participating in a dialog with the Theorist and Practitioner, the Reader gradually gets acquainted with the main categories of the theory of Power (power groups, resources, vassals and suzerains) and with its rules, the main of which has always been and remains "Silence is gold!". What rule of Power did Steve Jobs break when he was fired from all positions in his own company Apple in 1984? What enemy drove the "genius of the Carpathians," Romania's all-powerful dictator Nicolae Ceausescu, to execution? Why did the military coup of 1958 in France started by generals, and power as a result went to the long-retired De Gaulle? How many years did it take a real man of Power to go from a beggar on the porch to the Emperor of Byzantium, and how did he manage it at all? How really, and not in the speculations of conspiracy theorists, fought among themselves American oligarchs Morgan and Rockefeller, and what is the balance of power among their heirs in the modern world ruling elite? About this and much more - in a new book by the famous Russian economist Mikhail Khazin and popular blogger Sergei Shcheglov.
