This weird juxtaposition of conspiracy theory and the alleged irrelevance of so many of the conspiracists’ favorite groups reflects the incoherence of Rothkopf’s project. These institutions and networks are important, but they’re not almighty. They’re somewhat fluid but not totally. They’re dependent on prominent individuals, but also make those individuals prominent. A book like this should investigate the machinery of power, but it ends up treating it all as something of a black box.

We’ve had a series of books in recent years that amount to little more than a pornography of wealth. But the connection of wealth to actual power is rarely explored. Sure, hedge fund managers can deploy billions, and CEOs can hire and fire thousands, but what is the relation of that narrow economic power to broader political, social and cultural power? </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/99C4F919-CA16-4129-9D2C-9D9E13E6F8D3/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
