Money, Morals, and Manners : The Culture of the French and the American Upper-Middle Class Hardback
by Michele Lamont
Part of the Morality and Society Series series
Hardback
Description
Drawing on remarkably frank, in-depth interviews with 160 successful men in the United States and France, Michhle Lamont provides a rare and revealing collective portrait of the upper-middle class--the managers, professionals, entrepreneurs, and experts at the center of power in society.
Her book is a subtle, textured description of how these men define the values and attitudes they consider essential in separating themselves--and their class--from everyone else.
Money, Morals, and Manners is an ambitious and sophisticated attempt to illuminate the nature of social class in modern society.
For all those who downplay the importance of unequal social groups, it will be a revelation.
