Wright Mills both shared the same perspectives that social institutions that were control by the economy and people of power. Marx theory was based on the means of production creating different class structures. This also created two groups the bourgeoisie the wealthy group who control the means and the ones below them such as the proletariat workers who we is labeled as slave because of the hard work they put in while working underneath the bourgeoisie. This is similar to that of Mills, who showed the power within their institutions labeled as the military, economy, and government. Anything that did not fall within these three groups was on the bottom of the economic status and had little interest from the power elite group. Both Marx and Mills share similarities in Marx’s theory of a false consciousness and Mills lack of sociological imagination, which devalues those in the lower class and those who hold higher and powerful position impose their beliefs, ideas, controlling how they live and function in
