The Missing Middle

Více o knize

The book delves into the neglect of the "missing middle" in American politics, highlighting how politicians focus on extremes—programs for the very poor and tax cuts for the very rich—while overlooking the needs of average working individuals. Theda Skocpol critically examines this pattern, emphasizing the implications for societal well-being and the future of the nation. Through this lens, the work addresses the challenges faced by those of modest means, who are often absent from policy discussions despite being a significant part of the population.
