Product Description
Drawing on remarkably frank, in-depth interviews with 160 successful men in the United States and France, Michle Lamont provides a rare and revealing collective portrait of the upper-middle classthe 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 themselvesand their classfrom 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.
