Money, Morals, and Manners: The Culture of the French and the American Upper-Middle Class

I learned one of the chapters in my political science class. I love the culture difference between these two nation.

This book was very helpful in preparing me to live in France, but I had to struggle to read it as it is very badly written. Yet I would still recommend you read it if you have the time to organize the author's ideas yourself. FRANCE is very different because they have economic security with lifetime contracts of employment, health care, free education, pensions, and help with the children, lots of vacation while Americans have little to none of any of those things. The difference in economic structure and the resources available in each country shape the lives of the people living inside each system.
