Excerpt from The Reign of Gilt
The eminent Bishop of the Episcopalian diocese of New York has spent practically his whole life among people of wealth and fashion and their associates. He has made some brief excursions, but his social relations, his intimacies have been altogether with what Parton calls "the triumphant classes." He knows the plutocracy; his diocese lies in its stronghold, includes many of its most conspicuous and aggressive leaders both in making and spending money. There can be no question of his qualification to speak authoritatively of it, of its mode of living and thinking. He has said:
"Hear a group of young girls whose fresh youth one would think ought, in the matter of their most tender and sacred affection, to be as free from sordid instinct as from the taint of a godless cynicism.

Impresión bajo demandaLibrería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido
Calificación del vendedor: 5 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book takes an in-depth look at the plutocracy of the United States at the start of the 20th century, a time of great inequality as the country was undergoing a rapid industrial revolution. It explores the consequences of this concentration of wealth in the hands of a few industrialists on the moral and social fabric of American society. Drawing on the observations of a bishop who was deeply embedded in the triumphant classes, the author explores the tension between the democratic ideals of the nation and the corrupting impact of the accumulation of vast wealth by a tiny fraction of the population. Through the author's engaging narrative, the book not only reveals the extravagance and vulgarity of the lifestyle of the plutocrats, but it also points to the dangers of allowing such wealth to be concentrated in the hands of the few, rather than being distributed more equitably across society. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781331283973_0
