Crisis and Power. Volume 2. People of Power. Dialogues about Great Suzerains and Power Groups

In matters of Power, there are two answers — the well-known and the correct one. Any representative of the elite is interested in keeping the structure of their group and its true goals a secret. But besides internal connections, there are also public actions undertaken by group members in the struggle for various resources. Using the theory of Power, outlined in «Ladder to Heaven», Mikhail Khazin and Sergey Shcheglov analyze large-scale historical and political events to show how many collective interests, motives, and problems are hidden behind the well-known «facts». What did IMF Director Strauss-Kahn pay the price for? Could Stalin have lost the power struggle? Who is really behind Kennedy's death and why did absolutely everyone, even his supporters, support the official version of the lone assassin? Why did Roosevelt, who prolonged the Great Depression, become the only president in US history elected to a third term, while Nixon, who pulled the American economy out of crisis, became the only president removed from power prematurely?
