Title: The coming class war and how to avoid it
First published: 1999
Description: Strobel and Peterson offer a clear, accessible analysis of the worsening distribution of income and wealth in America. In addressing the decline of the middle class, the authors determine not only that the middle class has continued to shrink but that the majority of economic benefits have become concentrated into fewer and fewer hands. There is a close analysis of the linkage between economic and political power, as well as the increasing inability of the growing lower and shrinking middle classes to voice their economic views in Washington. To prevent further class conflict in the coming quarter century, the authors outline strategic changes in policy, including a plan to strengthen social security.
