A tantalizing, droll study of the idiosyncratic existence of the very rich, through the unexpected lens of the naturalist. Journalist Richard Conniff probes the age-old question "Are the rich different from you and me?" and finds that they are indeed a completely different animal. He observes with great humor and finesse this socially unique species, revealing their strategies for ensuring dominance and submission, their flourishes of display behavior, the intricate dynamics of their pecking order, as well as their unorthodox mating practices. Through comparisons to other equally exotic animals, Conniff uncovers surprising commonalities.
• How did Bill Gates achieve his single greatest act of social dominance by being nice? • How does the flattery of the rich resemble the grooming behavior of baboons? • What made the British aristocracy the single most successful animal dominance hierarchy in the history of the planet? • How does Old Money's disdain for the nouveaux riches resemble the pig-grunting of mountain gorillas?
This marvelously entertaining field guide captures in vivid detail the behaviors and habitats of the world's most captivating yet elusive animal. 29 photographs.

評分“如果你的子女从一开头就知道必须自我奋斗,你的基因的未来会更加稳固。你只需把爱和好姓氏传给他们,像黑长尾猴奶奶扶植小孙子一样照顾他们,此外什么也别留给他们。” 这本书是这么劝富人财产裸捐的。 作者将社会学的东西写的很浅显。本书本意也不在于从成功学的角度讲怎么...
