Abstract
This is a study of the men at the apex of a regional economic power structure. The choice of subject (the Massachusetts business elite) and treatment (the division of that elite into its religious and ethnic 1 components) embody the view that the economic and ethnic histories of Massachusetts are tightly intertwined.
