Drawing on remarkably frank, in-depth interviews with 160 successful men in the United States and France, Michè le 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.
