This is a phenomenal book that really emphasizes and illuminates the struggles of the middle class, the domination of the rich, and the myth of the American dream and upward mobility. The author, Daniel Markovits, puts together a brilliant book that deeply covers comparisons between the rich and the rest, related to education, healthcare, jobs, etc. He deeply covers our nations inequalities, contradictions of the system, and class warfare. If I could only recommend one book to people of the contemporary middle and working class, it would be this one.
