"E. Digby Baltzell taught at Penn during my college days there. He was a popular professor and is credited with coining the term "WASP". Baltzell was one of the first sociologists to study the American upper class as a legitimate cultural sub-set. Before him, most books on rich Americans were gossipy tittle-tattles with no underlying examination of upper-class history or ethos. This book examines the rise of the WASP aristocracy,but fails to envision the future of America's old establishment. Baltzell was not clairvoyant; he could not foresee that the old-rich would lose their power, authority and imfluence on politics, finance and popular American culture. For this reason, I'd recommend this book only to readers of out-dated sociology."
