Power is not given, power is taken - how many times have you heard these words, and how many times have you repeated them yourself, without thinking about their meaning. Meanwhile, the forcible 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 advertising of a criminal and dead-end path to it became a popular opinion about Power, and how do ordinary people actually become people of Power? In their book, Khazin and Shcheglov offer the reader a completely new interpretation of the essence of Power, telling in detail about all stages of a power career - from an ordinary employee of a corporation to a high-ranking representative of the world elite. By participating in a dialogue with the Theorist and the Practitioner, the Reader gradually gets acquainted with the main categories of the theory of Power (power groups, resources, vassals and overlords) and its rules, the main of which has always been and remains "Silence is golden!". What Rule of Power did Steve Jobs break when he was fired from all positions at his own Apple company in 1984? What enemy brought to execution the "genius of the Carpathians", the all-powerful dictator of Romania, Nicolae Ceausescu? Why did the generals start the military coup in France in 1958, and why did De Gaulle, who retired long ago, end up in power? How many years did it take for a real man of power to go from a beggar on the porch to the emperor of Byzantium, and how did he manage to do it? How did the American oligarchs Morgans and Rockefellers fight among themselves in reality, and not in conspiracy theories, and what is the balance of power among their heirs in the modern world ruling elite? About this and much more - in the new book by the famous Russian economist Mikhail Khazin and the popular blogger Sergei Shcheglov.
