Dream hoarders: how the American upper middle class is leaving everyone else in the dust, why that is a problem, and what to do about it
Description
"This is a book about me and, likely, you, too. I am British by birth, but I have lived in the United States since 2012 and became a citizen in late 2016. (Also, I was born on the Fourth of July.) There are lots of reasons I have made America my home. But one of them is the American ideal of opportunity. I always hated the walls created by social class distinctions in the United Kingdom. The American idea of a classless society is, to me, a deeply attractive one. It has been disheartening to learn that the class structure of my new homeland is, if anything, more rigid than the one I left behind, and especially so at the top"-- Page 5.
