"In 'The Status Seekers', the inquiring author of 'The Hidden Persuaders' examines the system of ranks and classes into which American society is becoming stratified. He analyses the behaviour, the language, and even the symbols - home, automobile, club, style of shirt - whereby Americans strive to 'live up to the Joneses' in order to maintain and improve their status.
As a treatise on the human pecking order, 'The Status Seekers' has few rivals, and it is uncomfortably easy to see how its findings apply more and more to the erstwhile aristocratic snobbishness of Western Europe and to the revolutionary bureaucracy of brave new Russia."
