@Meaningness Any resources to recommend on social class? I read "Class" by Fussell years ago — v. useful, but your post had many new ideas.

@KevinSimler Veblen’s Theory of the Leisure Class is a must. The language is dense, but so are the insights.

@KevinSimler Conniff’s Natural History of the Rich is good. Most of his insights, and Veblen’s, apply to middle class, mutatis mutandis.

@KevinSimler Nothing else comes immediately to mind, I’m afraid! Making mental note to send you refs if I think of them.

@edelwax @KevinSimler Thanks, a lot of good stuff there! @MichaelOChurch’s blog is always interesting & worth following

@Meaningness @edelwax @KevinSimler @MichaelOChurch I see that he has insight, but oh boy does he rub me the wrong way.
