Amory traced how the nouveau riche evolved into the Old Guard.Other books about the rich in thepostwar years, notably Robert Heilbroner’s 1956 The Quest forWealth and Lucy Kavaler’s The Private World of High Society of 1960, focused on the human drive for acquisition and, specifically,Americans’ common desire to rise to a higher social class duringsome particularly money-oriented times.As well, classic sociologi-cal works like C.Wright Mills’s 1956 The Power Elite, WilliamWhyte’s The Organization Man of the same year, John KennethGalbraith’s 1958 The Affluent Society, and Vance Packard’s The Status Seekers of the following year each explored different dimensions of the wealthy elite as it blossomed during the postwar years.In the sixties and seventies, as the cult of celebrity emerged,books about the American rich tended to go for sheer shock value.Revisionist historians in the early 1960s helped to restore in partthe reputation of men like Henry Ford and John D.Rockefeller,however, tranforming them into something between the ogres theyhad been popularly viewed as and actual human beings.FerdinandLundberg’s 1968 bestseller The Rich and the Super-Rich made quite a sensation with its argument that a very small number of households effectively controlled the nation through their economic andsocial power.Kenneth Lamott’s The Money Makers of the following year showed readers that some of the world’s greatest fortunes werethe result of human disasters, both natural and manmade.ThreeBIBLIOGRAPHY299other books from the late sixties—George G.Kirstein’s The Rich:Are They Different? , Roy Perrott’s The Aristocrats, and Stephen Birmingham’s The Right People—also peeked inside the world ofthe rich, the unusual attention being paid to them no doubt aresponse to the changing winds of society.Still, despite all thesebooks, the nation’s bicentennial American wealth culture remainedlargely a mystery to the man or woman on the street.‘‘The rich arethe least studied—and least understood—class in the U.S.,’’ arguedNewsweek reporter Kenneth L.Woodward in 1974: ‘‘While sociolo-gists probe the poor and measure the middle classes with compu-terized efficiency, the rich remain largely ignored by socialscientists and journalists alike
