According to C. Wright Mills, the middle level of the pyramid includes the legislative branch of government, special interest groups, and local opinion leaders. This is because they are not the most powerful or wealthy individuals in society, but they do hold some degree of influence and decision-making power. The ruling class refers to the highest level of the pyramid, which includes the wealthy, politically and economically powerful individuals who control and shape society. The unorganized masses refer to the bottom level of the pyramid, which includes the majority of people who do not have significant power or influence. The corporate rich, although a powerful group, may be considered to be part of the ruling class rather than the middle level.
