В поиске термина для интеллигенции как социального класса, но современной интеллигенции, выживающей в условиях рынка. Креативный класс? Почему и как? Какая кроется классовая идентичность? Ответы от социолога Александра Кустарева. http://www.terra-america.ru/prestijnii-socionim.aspx

I find it draining to be at social events, especially with large groups of people. I often want to rush back home or to my hotel room and "recharge my batteries."
