The American Middle Class: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The American Middle Class" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
Americans of all classes consider themselves to be middle class. There are Americans who by any objective standard should be considered poor who would insist they are middle class, just as other Americans who should be considered wealthy also insist they are middle class. Thinking of yourself and being thought of by others as middle class is the American Dream for tens of millions of people. But an enduring problem of the American middle class is the worry that the Dream is coming apartthat forces are lurking in the shadows waiting to steal their progress and throw them back into poverty.
This thought-provoking reference explores a disparate multitude of issues associated with being middle class in America. It addresses a range of questions and subtopics, including the meaning of the term middle class; how middle class status is expressed by both the majority and the various minorities that make up the American mosaic; what economic pressures are bearing down on the middle class; and how economists and others attempt to make sense of the economic issues of the day. Readers will also better understand how political institutions and public policies are shaping the way the middle class views the world; how labor, housing, education, and crime-related issues have influenced the development and growth of the middle class; the norms of the middle class versus those of other classes in society; and the role of culture and media in shaping how members of the middle class view themselvesand how they are viewed by others.
This two-volume set provides a comprehensive look at the American middle class that supports student research in economics, social studies, cultural studies, and political history. The content supports teachers in their development of lesson plans and assignments that directly align with the Common Core State Standards and the recommendations of the National Curriculum Standards for Social Studies (NCSS) with respect to all ten NCSS themes.
