Reviews
Despite strong opening hints that this is going to be a genuinely significant examination of the role that money plays in the class structure of America, it soon becomes apparent that Lapham has written not so much a study with a well-developed thesis as a series of separate chapters loosely tied to the theme that Americans are obsessed by the desire to make money and that they never feel they have enough. The book is a curious melange of personal experiences, quotations, anecdotes, footnotes, and some rather dubious assertions. As a result the narrative is meandering and disconnected. General readers may find themselves tantalized at times.A. J. Anderson, G.S.L.I.S., Simmons Coll., Boston

Money and Class in America: Notes and Observations on Our Civil Religion
Seller: World of Books (was SecondSale), Montgomery, IL, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardback. Condition: Good. Extensively expanded and revised, with a new foreword by Thomas Frank In the United States, happiness and wealth are often regarded as synonymous. Consumerism, greed, and the insatiable desire for more are American obsessions. In the native tradition of Twain, Veblen, and Mencken, the editor of Lapham's Quarterly here examines our fascination with the ubiquitous green goddess. Focusing on the wealthy sybarites of New York City, whom Lewis H. Lapham has been able to observe firsthand in their natural habitat, Money and Class in America is a caustic, and often hilarious, portrait of a segment of the American population who, in the thirty years since the book was originally written, have become only further removed-both in terms of wealth and social awareness-from everyone else.
