In the late XIX - early XX centuries, a new social stratum of big business was

formed in the United States. Its legitimation took place by stages in different areas, including

the cultural sphere. That was exactly at the turn of the XIX-XX centuries. in the United States

began to form the phenomenon of elite culture. Legitimation of the dominance of American big

business was not easy and met with resistance from the "ancient elite" - the merchant and

usurer families of New York and Boston. Special methods of education, the collection of

European Antiques by Nouveau riches and the struggle to create an elite public space for the

new corporate business elite led to the complete transformation of the cultural environment of

the United States. The consolidation of the dominance of big business in this sphere

completed the formalization of the rule of the "new aristocracy" in American society.
