Who exactly are these people? In the realm of material consumption, Bobos reconcile bourgeois and bohemian by cultivating "ever finer tastes about ever more simple things", preferring to "buy the same items as the proletariat - it's just that (they) buy rarified versions of these items that members of the working class would consider preposterous."
