The Natural History of the Rich

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. Conniff observes this socially unique species with humour, revealing their strategies of ensuring dominance and submission, their flourishes of display behaviour, the intricate dynamics of their pecking order, and their unorthodox mating practices. Through comparisons to other equally exotic animals, he uncovers surprising commonalities.
