We don’t talk enough about billionaires as a class, with anthropological patterns and stuff. Though they get tons of attention, almost all of it is either valorizing or demonizing individual attention, or vague commentary about a strawman top-hatted archetype.

Alright, I’m starting the new field of billionaire studies. It will be fair and balanced, and neutral to class politics. It will treat them just like any other group studied by the social sciences and humanities.

I think the class gets interesting and uniquely well-defined at the wealth level where they can start to significantly distort national politics in a developed country. Where they start to own certain tables rather than merely buying themselves a seat at it.
