The middle class of our society has an important role-acting as the
glue that holds the upper and lower classes together. But what will
happen if the middle class crumbles? The Shrinking Middle Class is
a comprehensive study of the economic meltdown and its long-term
effects on the middle class.
Emanuel Collado is a self-made businessman who focuses the
results of his extensive research into a trend first detected in
the 1980s. He provides fascinating case studies of middle class
families, alarming statistics, and causes of the current economic
crisis that both the United States and the world face. As Collado
compares past decisions with current issues, he offers explanations
for why America has such a disparity in our society and where the
social fabric is being skewed to expand at both ends and grow
thinner in the middle.
Not so long ago, being middle class meant a reliable job with
good pay, a home, access to health care, good education for youth,
and a dignified retired life. Collado provides an in-depth look
into why the United States is becoming a two-class society and what
we can do now to prevent it from happening.
