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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTables and Maps Acknowledgments Note to the Reader Prologue: Sketching the Landscape: Some Illustrative Vignettes  Ch. 1: The Questions and the Stage  Ch. 2: The Importance of Being Honest: Keys to Moral Boundaries  Ch. 3: The World of Success, Money, and Power: Keys to Socioeconomic Boundaries  Ch. 4: Most of My Friends Are Refined: Keys to Cultural Boundaries  Ch. 5: Explaining National Differences  Ch. 6: The Nature of Internal Class Boundaries  Ch. 7: Implications, Contributions, and Unanswered Questions Appendix I: Surveying the French and American Upper-Middle Classes Appendix II: The Research Sites Appendix III: Research Procedures Appendix IV: Ranking of Respondents on the Cultural, Moral, and Socioeconomic Dimensions Notes Bibliography Index","brand":"The University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49400030101847,"sku":"9780226468150","price":76.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/money-morals-manners-the-culture-of-the-french-and-the-american-uppermiddle-class-morality-and-society-series-9780226468150","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
