Power and power gaze in 1970s culture clash
A critique of Korda and Ringer on power culture, noting half a million readers and the idea of mastering influence. The piece compares Machiavellian advice to Bartleby the Scrivener’s passive resistance and parodies the rise of “power” fashion in office life. It ends with Gandhi as a counterimage to aggressive power.

The project aimed to unify approaches to White House and Congress, apply collective bargaining to rulemaking, and harmonize policy across taxes and trade, but Ford’s veto halted the situs picketing bill and exposed fears of elite collusion at the expense of consumers and small groups.
