Dinheiro antigo

Dinheiro antigo é "a riqueza herdada de famílias estabelecidas de classe alta (ou seja, nobreza, patriciado)" ou "uma pessoa, família ou linhagem que possui riqueza herdada".[1] É uma classe social de ricos que conseguiram manter sua riqueza ao longo de várias gerações, geralmente se referindo a membros percebidos da aristocracia de fato em sociedades que historicamente não têm uma classe aristocrática oficialmente estabelecida (como os Estados Unidos), em contraste com o dinheiro novo, cuja riqueza foi adquirida dentro de sua própria geração.

Riqueza e classe

Riqueza — ativos mantidos por um indivíduo ou por uma família — fornece uma dimensão importante de estratificação social porque pode passar de geração em geração, garantindo que os descendentes de uma família permanecerão financeiramente estáveis. Famílias com "dinheiro antigo" usam ativos acumulados ou poupanças para cobrir interrupções na renda, protegendo-se assim contra a mobilidade social descendente.[2]
