Update |June, 2013 In 2002, writing just seven months after the Sept. 11 attacks, Adam Cohen noted on the opinion page that the story of Jay Gatsby – the “cynical idealist, who embodies America in all its messy glory” – was more relevant than ever: In today’s increasingly disturbing world, home to Al Qaeda cells and suicide bombers, offshore sham partnerships and document-shredding auditors, the grim backdrop against which Gatsby’s life plays out feels depressingly right.

There are some minor characters who are less wealthy, and a smaller number of servants and workers who are glimpsed working in the novel. Consumers Tom and Daisy never work, and Tom is said to be extraordinarily rich.
Nick is one of the less wealthy characters, and works in the stock exchange, but is still financially secure as his family is economically stable enough to support him in his work. Gatsby is introduced at the height of his power and success, and is associated purely with pleasure and extravagantly expensive pursuits such as throwing parties, driving luxury cars and going out in a hydroplane.
