The latest from Richard Reeves for Brookings on "How to build a stronger middle class"
Richard Reeves on why "respect" just might be the key to building a stronger middle class.
❝ We worry a lot about the middle class: but who are they? Are you middle class? What does it really mean to be middle class in America today?
As a recovering Brit and a new American, this is a question I struggle with. In my old country, it is easy. People with titles, the hereditary aristocracy, are the upper class. People without titles, but with plenty of money, are middle class. Everyone else is working class. [Brookings.edu]
