What is the history of the snobbery movement?
assistant
The snobbery movement began in the late 19th century, when a group of intellectuals and social reformers sought to address the growing inequality between rich and poor. They argued that the upper classes were responsible for creating this inequality by hoarding wealth and power. This led to an increase in anti-elitism sentiment, which eventually culminated in the rise of fascism in Europe during World War II. In response, the United States adopted policies such as the G.I. Bill to help veterans returning from war get jobs and higher education, leading to increased economic opportunity among the working class.
