　　Tocqueville, apparently, was wrong. Jacksonian America was not a fluid, egalitarian society where individual wealth and poverty were ephemeral conditions. At least so argues E. Pessen in his iconoclastic study of the very rich in the United States between 1825 and 1850.

　　Pessen does present a quantity of examples, together with some refreshingly intelligible statistics, to establish the existence of an inordinately wealthy class. Though active in commerce or the professions, most of the wealthy were not self-made, but had inherited family fortunes. In no sense mercurial, these great fortunes survived the financial panics that destroyed lesser ones. Indeed, in several cities the wealthiest one percent constantly increased its share until by 1850 it owned half of the community’s wealth. Although these observations are true, Pessen overestimates their importance by concluding from them that the undoubted progress toward inequality in the late eighteenth century continued in the Jacksonian period and that the United States was a class-ridden, plutocratic society even before industrialization.

　　According to the passage, Pessen indicates that all of the following were true of the very wealthy in the United States between 1825 and 1850EXCEPT:

　　A：They formed a distinct upper class.

　　B：Many of them were able to increase their holdings.

　　C：Some of them worked as professionals or in business.

　　D：Most of them accumulated their own fortunes.

　　E：Many of them retained their wealth in spite of financial upheavals.

　　答案：D
