Ah, we come to the real source of antipathy to the "robber barons" - the Knickerbockers and Brahmins - the Old Guard elite who could trace their social status back generations - who were replaced by the fabulously wealthy arrivistes. Men who made millions in railroads and finance in the last few decades of the 1800s.

Of course, JP Morgan could straddle both worlds - the Old Guard elites and the new wealthy industrialists. But in business, he was "drawn to talent, energy, and competence, he had rejected partners whose qualifications were only dynastic." So Morgan was the TRUE traitor to his class.
