Q

The 20th century saw the rise of a broad middle-class in American life. Although fitful in the early decades, this ascent quickened after the Second World War. Commentators today, however, suggest that the once expanding middle-class is slowly shrinking. How would you assess the role of the American middle-class throughout the postwar period? When weighing your answer you might consider issues that wrap around RACE and CLASS in 20th Century American Life. You might also consider the intersection between the rising tide of consumption in the century and the persistent impulse to reform. Finally, you might consider the current state of the American middle-class and the possible consequences of fundamental change in that broad class.
