[quote=Anonymous]Maybe the whole point of social class has always been to make a group of people attractive to new money. A sort of evolutionary adaptation to keep a set of genes sleek and successful. For at least 160 years downwardly mobile aristos have been trading in their pedigree for recently acquired wealth. Haven’t we all seen/read a bunch of Henry James movies/books? I think a lot of people born into these “good families” have a sense that they are never going to successfully swim with the sharks who make truly big bucks, so they marry the daughters/sons of said sharks instead.[/quote]
