This episode we speak with Richard L. Zweigenhaft [1] about his research, with G. William Domhoff [2], on diversity in the power elite [3] and their new book, The New CEOs: Women, African American, Latino, and Asian American Leaders of Fortune 500 Companies [4]. While Fortune 500 CEOs are still predominantly white males, a growing number of women and people of color have become CEOs in the past two decades. What has caused this increased diversity and what impact has it had? What does this tell us about gender, race, ethnicity, and class in American politics? Listen in to find out.
