[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's an aristocrat versus upper class?[/quote] You mean then or now? It's hard to delineate IMHO. Then - there wasn't much daylight between aristocracy (inherited wealth, almost always landed) and upper classes. There were some upper classes a generation or two removed from trade (e.g., Charles Bingley from Pride and Prejudice). Now - aristocracy is generational wealth mostly from estates, including the nobility. Upper classes can now include self-made (e.g. Richard Branson) or post-industrial wealth.[/quote]
