Bobos in Paradise: The New Upper Class and How They Got There by David Brooks

3.0

---

There were definitely interesting parts of this book, particularly when Brooks is specifically addressing the melding of Bohemian and Bourgeois ideas. Parts are definitely dated (not surprising, since the book is 12 years old), but it was interesting to try to apply his ideas to the last 12 years. You can certainly see some continuation of those ideas, but also some big responses.
