The Rich and the Super-Rich. A Study in the Power of Money Today is a study by Ferdinand Lundberg conducted in 1968. In this study, Lundberg tries to bring his findings from America's Sixty Families (1937) up to date and into the field of elite studies. He critically examines recent studies in the concentration of wealth in the USA, only to conclude that the majority of the "new rich" are the inheritors of the big fortunes studied in the earlier book. But the rate of concentration has increased. The Lampman study (1962), the Michigan study (1964), and the Federal Banking lists (1962) all point to the fact that a little more than one percent of the households in the US control 65 % of the invested capital. Lundberg concludes that this elite of little more than 500.000 people has a decisive influence in the economic system. Throughout, Lundberg relies on studies by others. His study has been superseded by more recent books on wealth and income. Tables in the appendix list top incomes and top wealth owners.
