Sommario/riassunto

Leslie Dale Feldman's Rustics and Politics: The Political Theory of The Beverly Hillbillies  looks at the political and economic themes in the classic post-World War II television show The Beverly Hillbillies. This book analyzes the show's handling of social status, social mobility, work, the American dream, and the idea of earned wealth versus wealth achieved by luck.
