      What I'm trying to say is that social climbing is really a European thing. In the rest of the world it's sex, money & fame that drives things.

      i think so much of politics in that world can be understood in the context of social climbing, the country club is often the GOP, fundraisers are the entree to society etc.

      exactly, it's a world built entirely on social climbing and demonstrating status through social relations
