A tantalizing, droll study of the idiosyncratic existence of the very rich, through the unexpected lens of the naturalist. Journalist Richard Conniff probes the age-old question "Are the rich different from you and me?" and finds that they are indeed a completely different animal. He observes with great humor and finesse this socially unique species, revealing their strategies for ensuring dominance and submission, their flourishes of display behavior, the intricate dynamics of their pecking order, as well as their unorthodox mating practices. Through comparisons to other equally exotic animals, Conniff uncovers surprising commonalities.
• How did Bill Gates achieve his single greatest act of social dominance by being nice? • How does the flattery of the rich resemble the grooming behavior of baboons? • What made the British aristocracy the single most successful animal dominance hierarchy in the history of the planet? • How does Old Money's disdain for the nouveaux riches resemble the pig-grunting of mountain gorillas?
This marvelously entertaining field guide captures in vivid detail the behaviors and habitats of the world's most captivating yet elusive animal. 29 photographs.

评分本书引起我兴趣的是从事艺术品买卖的包德温先生对“大狗”的定义：你必须是名贵艺术品收藏者，听的是前卫音乐，参加亚斯平学会的知性讨论时不会说外行话出洋相。除了这些条件之外，你还得有1亿美元，那你才算得上是“大狗”。 富人，在普通人眼里，是住着几千平...
评分这段时间，网络红人薛某某和未成年人李某某的新闻频现报端，一个想抹去嫖娼的行迹，另一个拼命想坐实“嫖客”的身份，以免轮奸之罪。种种乱象背后，国人的心声再简单不过：我不相信。 不知从何时开始，国人对富人形成了微妙的心态。嘴上说的是“我们并不仇富，只是痛恨不公平”...
