The Protestant Establishment Revisited

"I like to think that were Veblen still with us, he would be leading the applause for this superb & aptly entitled collection of sociological essays which supplement the authors sure-footed trilogy on the American upper-class Establishment-itself a work that has done more to illuminate the behavior of castebound elites & achieved aristocracy in America than any other since Veblen's enduring classic on the leisure class. The author is the analyst of the American upper class. His essays collected here demonstrate the fact in abundance.
