### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    “Epistocratic” has  cultural norms
  

*by P***2 on Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2018*

The Konolige’s evoke the Episcopalian “aroma” that I remember as youngster of the 50’s.  Some elements in the book are horrifyingly uninformed (chapter 23) as if the authors never stepped out of their social milieu to see if they knew what they were talking about, while other elements were edifying and even charming (e.g. the yachting story on page 228 where “that man” (FDR) engages with the offended and offending Grace Vanderbilt and creates a constructive detente, thanks to FDR’s good-humored reply and their shared respect for gentlemanly behavior.) The book includes numerous vignettes and details that demonstrate the best and worst of Epistocratic cultural norms.

    Useful primary source
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2014*

Most of the discussions in this book are had more cogently in the early chapters of 
  
Who Killed Society?







  
  
     by Cleveland Amory, whom the authors clearly admire. However, this book remains useful for several reasons.First, it attempts to characterize the religious situation of the WASP ruling class, although I finished reading the book only more perplexed than I did when I began. Relevant quote: "Hence the seeming paradox: a very formal, elaborate, orthodox religion with an extremely worldly, wealthy, and rationalistic congregation. It is a religion for sophisticates--for people who can 'believe' a religious philosophy of life without letting it interfere in their workaday world." (33)Second, it explains how the Episcopalian church and the old money prep schools weathered the social changes of the 1960s, which had not yet occurred when Amory wrote his book. The church, robbed of its snobbish character, fell in line with the Protestant mainline; the prep schools either adapted to the new post-WASP status quo, or withered on the vine, like Groton. (Groton, of course, was not allowed to vanish entirely; it adapted after this book was written. Its current headmaster? A certain Mr. Temba Maqubela.)Finally, as a 1978 update it shows a shift in American concerns, away from the formation of an exclusive elite, and towards a new elite concerned with inclusion of politically like-minded fellows, precisely as Amory predicted in 1960.

    Phenomenal Read!
  

*by B***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2011*

I don't bother writing many reviews but this is an excellent read.  Any history buff with an interest in turn-of-the-century deal-makers will enjoy this book.  As one of "God's Frozen People" (an Episcopalian) I was fascinated with the importance of the Episcocratic Ideology.If you can get your hands on a copy - grab it!
