Robert Frank
Richistan is like the best travel writing, full of colorful and interesting stories providing insights into exotic locales. Robert Frank has been loitering on the docks of yacht marinas, pestering his way into charity balls, and schmoozing with real-estate agents selling mega-houses to capture the story of the 21st century's nouveau riche.
As Robert Frank reveals, there is not one Richistan but three: Lower, Middle, and Upper, each of which has its own levels and distinctions of wealth: the haves and the have-mores. The influence of Richistan and the Richistanis extends well beyond the almost ten million households that make up its population, as the nonstop quest for status and an insatiable demand for luxury goods reshapes the entire American economy.

Enjoyable Read

I work in a resort community for wealthy people and I have long wondered where they all come from, how they got there and how do you describe the rich since they are obviously not all rich to the same degree.
I love the writer's take on this. I also like the fact that he shows the generosity of the wealthy and how their wealth creates monetarily and emotionally satisfying jobs for working class people like me who know how to provide good service.
This could really help people understand wealth beyond the "us and them" portrayal in the media in general.
