There is fascination and suspicion about the wealthy. Yet there
is a dearth of material in which the wealthy speak for themselves
about the meaning of their lives. "Gospels of Wealth" provides such
narrative material. This book is a novel venture in social science.
It is the first book to have a broad range of wealthy individuals
recount their lives in detail, and, importantly, the first to
formulate a sociology of wealth that goes beyond conventional,
power-elite, Marxist, and status-group theories.
The authors begin with an analytical framework for studying the
biographical narratives of the wealthy. Next, 12 contemporary
Americans directly and vividly recount how financial and spiritual
aspects of their lives unfold and invariably intertwine. A
concluding section explores rules for interpreting the truth of
moral biographies and for undertaking a critical assessment of such
narratives. The book's theoretical framework and first-person
accounts will appeal to general readers as well as researchers in
sociology, American studies, philanthropy, economic life, and
cultural studies.
