The Beverly Hillbillies includes the portrayal of rich versus poor,
the American dream, wealth, and social mobility in popular culture.
The Hillbillies was a phenomenon of post-World War II America, the
second wave after the 1950s, the dustbelt Depression meets the
promise of opportunity achieved through luck. Luck counts in
liberal society. It is, said Machiavelli, "the arbiter of half of
what we do." But is success based on luck really the American
dream? And who is the bigger success story-the Hillbillies or those
who have earned their wealth? Whom do we want to be or be like?
Everyone wants to win the lottery, but is everyone willing to do
what it takes to achieve financial independence without winning the
lottery? Does winning the lottery bring social status or can it
only be achieved by labor? In sum, Paul Henning's brilliant comedy
series The Beverly Hillbillies is replete with political ideas and
has come to occupy a special place in popular culture as a classic
television icon because of its deeper meaning and relationship to
how we think about wealth, status, social mobility and the American
dream.
