Reply #5: Yes, you absolutely did strike GOLD! I stumbled upon a copy

[Decruiter]

while window shopping an antique mall one afternoon in 2001 or early 2002. I saw the title from outside, went in, read the book cover and I felt just like I had struck gold. It allowed me to take a fast forward in my education when I was trying to figure out just what the hell was going wrong.

I highly recommend this to everyone!! It is a stunning, eye opening piece of work.

This was Lundberg's follow up to a book he had written 30 years before 1968 called America's Sixty Families.

An interesting sidenote taken from the book cover,

("....the author had to insert a footnote as the book went to press to report that the value of J. Paul Getty's principal holdings in the oil company bearing his name had tripled since the manuscript of The Rich and The Super-Rich went to the printer.)

The 1st Printing was in June of 1968 of 13,500, mine is the 6th print of 13,500 from October of 1968.
