The Protestant Establishment Revisited

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The American upper class has become less like an aristocracy governing and guiding the nation and more like a caste, a privileged and closed body whose contribution to national leadership has steadily declined. Baltzell's theory of the structure and function of the establishment remains unique in the literature of class stratification and authority.
