Inhaltsangabe

Analysts from seven countries trace the rise of their middle-classes, and consider how this class will fare given such challenges as globalization, inflation, and changing gender and family models. Referring to British philosopher R.G. Collingwood's postwar ideal of a social contract combining liberty and equality, Zunz (history, U. of Virginia) introduces current system stressors. In 16 papers, contributors analyze diverse paths to middle-class formation; friction between constituencies (e.g., the US middle-class racial divide); and effects of vanishing international borders on social contracts. Includes a statistical appendix on income inequality. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
