Thanks, that’s a good breakdown. Heinlein is a fascinating author because he’s boots on the ground type of writer. The societies he describes, the institutions and people, they make sense within that world and he applies this deeply sociological approach to characterization that allows outlining different shades of societal class through specific characters without making generalizations. That’s quite a feat.
