Stairway to Heaven. Khazin M., Scheglov S.

They do not give power, they take power - how many times have you heard these words, and how many times have repeated yourself without thinking about their meaning. Meanwhile, the violent seizure of power in any country is a grave crime, and attempts to “take power” end not on the throne, but on a scaffold. How did it happen that advertising of a criminal and dead end path to it became a common opinion about the authorities, 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, telling in detail about all stages of the power career - from an ordinary corporation employee to a senior representative of the world elite. Participating in a dialogue with a theoretician and a practitioner, the reader gradually gets acquainted with the main categories of the theory of power (power groups, resources, vassals and overlords) and with its rules, the main of which has always been and remains “silence - gold!”. What rule of power was violated by Steve Jobs, in 1984, dismissed from all posts in his own company Apple? Which enemy brought to the execution of the Genius of the Carpathians, the omnipotent dictator of Romania Nikolai Chausko? Why did the generals began the military coup in 1958 in France, and the authorities resulted in a long -resigned de Hell? How many years did the real person require a path to go from a beggar on a porch to the emperor of Byzantium, and how did he succeed at all? How really, and not in the speculations of conspiracy therapists, the American oligarchs of Morgana and Rockefellers fought among themselves, and what is the alignment of forces among their heirs in the modern world ruling elite? About this, and much more - in the new book of the famous Russian economist Mikhail Khazin and popular blogger Sergei Shcheglov.
