Reading Update: Power Structures

David Farland kept asking about "power structures."  At first I resisted:  "I care more for people than for politics," but I relented to Farland's greater wisdom, and I'm glad I did. Among online investigations, I dug up two books of note--one for its usefulness, one for its dubiousness.  Both fascinating.  They answer Farland only indirectly, however.

Here are their slide-show summaries:

Power: Why Some People Have It and Others Don't Hardcover by Jeffrey Pfeffer

The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene
