Description
The histories of great American dynastic fortunes, such as those of the Gettys, the Rockefellers and the Guggenheims, have been told as tales of passion, jealousy, achievement and eccentricity. This volume of essays, developed from the perspectives of contemporary anthropology and cultural studies, examines private concentrations of wealth and their legacies in the late 20th century.
