Social mobility is about climbing the societal ladder, or switching to a better, more promising or rewarding position. But how does this work for those already atop or very close to it? This book explores instances of social mobility among different types of positional, decisional and status-defined elites in East-Central Europe in the long 19th century, at individual or group level.
