Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 George Amory, the man I preferred to call, was heir to a large Long Island fortune. He was a tennis player and a blond and handsome insouciant elegance embodied in a tailor’s window. He had three children, but his wife was without substantial means of her own, and they couldn’t afford to live comfortably. #2 Amory’s story is a prime example of the pathologies of wealth. He was born into the ranks of the equestrian class and educated to the protocols of wealth at prep school and college. He couldn’t afford to raise his children like his parents had done for him, and his feeling of failure showed in his eyes. #3 I grew up in San Francisco, which was a city known for its romantic image of itself. The citizens doted on a romantic image of themselves, and they lacked any sense of other voices in other parts of town. #4 The point of view that the world is an entertainment for the rich assumes that Australians will play tennis, that Italians will sing or kill one another in Brooklyn, that blacks will dance or riot, and that holders of a season subscription will live happily ever after.

Winner of the Helen Bernstein Award for Excellence in Journalism One of Business Week’s “Ten Best Business Books of the Year” When it was published in 1994, A Piece of the Action was wildly acclaimed by Fortune, The Wall Street Journal, authors Michael Lewis and Brian Burroughs; it won the Helen Bernstein Prize and was a national bestseller. Joseph Nocera describes the historical process by which millions of middle class Americans went from being savers—people who kept their money in the bank, and spent it frugally—to being unrepentant borrowers and investors. A Piece of the Action is an important piece of financial and social history, and with a new introduction, Nocera’s 2013 critique of the uses of the revolution is a powerful warning and admonition to understand what is at stake before we act, to look before we jump.

Money Morals And Manners written by Michèle Lamont and has been published by University of Chicago Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2012-04-26 with Social Science categories.
Drawing on remarkably frank, in-depth interviews with 160 successful men in the United States and France, Michèle 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. "A powerful, cogent study that will provide an elevated basis for debates in the sociology of culture for years to come."—David Gartman, American Journal of Sociology "A major accomplishment! Combining cultural analysis and comparative approach with a splendid literary style, this book significantly broadens the understanding of stratification and inequality. . . . This book will provoke debate, inspire research, and serve as a model for many years to come."—R. Granfield, Choice "This is an exceptionally fine piece of work, a splendid example of the sociologist's craft."—Lewis Coser, Boston College
