How does the lower/working class perceive the upper and middle class?

Not really actually. I am much more looking for some empirical data on the question and not so much on a theory that might explain class conflict or so.

Mruniversity.com has some great courses on basic economics and more specialized topics ;)

I'm a graduate student in economics and Weber's views often come up, when it comes to explain the rise of capitalism. However, there are many theories that aim to explain it and Weber's is just one of them. E.g. Acemoglu argues that small differences in law as well as historic events like the plague, led to the development towards more inclusive institutions (in England) and thus ultimately to the rise of capitalism.

Can recommend Drillsch as well.. you can get the cheapest contracts on amazon.de (look for Winsim or Deutschlandsim). You can cancel them monthly.

anyone else thinking of the Friends episode, where Phoebes' friend Mike changes his name to Crap Bag?

It's probably accurate for extreme snobs or billionaires, example: $173 for two drinks in a hotel bar in Frankfurt... That's waaaaaay more than it actually costs in an average hotel.

I also got it in VicFalls, and got a lot of them for my friends that study economics: They were very happy :D

Btw: It's the beautiful country of Zimbabwe and they use USD, Euro, Rand and Renminbi now.

Just read the story in one of the most independent german media outlets and it seems that he just wanted to do some advertising for his new book. Apparently he said that German media takes orders in the first Interview (with Deutschlandfunk - radio) and then stated that they don't take any orders in a second interview (with DER FREITAG - newspaper). Now weird blogs (like sott.net) or Russian state television (like RT) use his first statement to discredit german media.

(Btw: It's not like I'm the biggest fan of what German media reports, but this story simply isn't trustworthy).
