Status Anxiety

I read de Botton's book Status Anxiety and thought it was a little bit too superficial. This interview however is better, if only because it's less of a time commitment and serves the same purpose with the same level of simplification for the purpose of highlighting his assertions. It's a subject matter I'm greatly interested in--a vested interest you might say--or indoctrinated into, more likely.

On a side-note, anyone who starts each response like de Botoon does with, "Look," loses some major points. Can't say why exactly.
