This work is based on an investigation conducted over several years in the homes of the wealthy, and examines their daily relationships and forms of domination. It sheds light on a little-known universe which has been the subject of numerous literary and cinematographic fantasies, finally providing an answer to the following question. How do rich and poor live under the same roof?
