Résumé : | Unfashionable, unpopular, hard to define, the middle class is on the run, staggering under the twofold impact of taxation and inflation. Yet nearly half the people in this country consider themselves to be in this category -where emphasis is placed on education, thrift and independance - and they are angry and bitter about the erosion of their standards. Patrick Hutber shows exactly what is happening, and points out what can be done to reverse the decline. His book is not simply a plea for the restoration of material well-being: it is also a serious warning. For if the middle class disappears, society as a whole will suffer it. |
