Abstract
Wealth has always been unevenly distributed in the United States. Even at the time of the Revolution almost half of the wealth was concentrated in an estimated 10% of the population. With the rise of capitalism in the mid-19th century that disparity is becoming more pronounced. Merchants and industrialists are accumulating vast fortunes, and because there is now a significant number of affluent people living in cities, a distinctive culture of wealth begins to emerge.
