Power In Society Through An Economic Perspective

Power In Society Through An Economic Perspective

Power relationships are found in our everyday lives.  Some are on a small scale, like the relationship between a college professor and a student.  Others are on such a large scale that we may not even realize they exist.  There are many disciplines of social science that explain the main concepts of power, the nature of power, and the uses of power in society. Economics is one of these social science disciplines, which is defined by Thomas Dye as “the study of the production and distribution of scare goods and services” (Dye 127).  The disciplines intermingle; however, each has its distinct way of characterizing and measuring power.  For example, economics is different than psychology.  
There are several definitions of power.  One is the “possession of controlling influence.”  This definition would apply more to economics, where the controlling influence is money.  Whoever has money automatically has more influence and control of whoever does not have comparable resources.   Another definition of power is “possession of the qualities (especially mental qualities) required to do something or get something done” (“Dictionary”).  This one would apply more to psychology.  Both definitions are
