| Summary |
"Focusing on the wealthy sybarites of New York City, whom Lapham has been able to observe firsthand in their natural habitat, Money and Class in America is a caustic, and often hilarious, portrait of a segment of the American population who, in the thirty years since the book was originally written, have become only further removed--both in terms of wealth and social awareness--from everyone else"--Provided by publisher |
