Arcadian Adventures with the Idle Rich

Book Overview
The Mausoleum Club stands on the quietest corner of the best residential street in the City. It is a Grecian building of white stone. About it are great elm trees with birds-the most expensive kind of birds-singing in the branches. The street in the softer hours of the morning has an almost reverential quiet. Great motors move drowsily along it, with solitary chauffeurs returning at 10.30 after conveying the earlier of the millionaires to their downtown offices. The sunlight flickers through the elm trees, illuminating expensive nurse-maids wheeling valuable children in little perambulators.

Not a great gift for your CEO, unless they self depricate well.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Great insight into the rich, powerful, educated and vain that will make you laugh at them and at the same time understand them better and see your own tendencies in that direction on occasion. This should be a must read for anyone that is employed by a country club or works in direct service to the elite. It might help the world if all our educators, CEOs and politicians were forced to read it as well. As Vanity, Superiority and Greed never seem to leave us this book will be a treasure to keep handy and pass down from one generation to the next. If you can't beat them, might as well laugh at them.
