Middle Class Boom

Taking on the Rust Belt globalization doomsayers at Pacific Standard magazine.

Subject Article: "Too bourgeois to bus tables."

Other Links: 1. "A Must-Read Book on the Midwest."
2. "The rise of the global middle class."
3. "The Heart of Demographic Doom."
4. "People Develop, Not Places."
5. "The Pentagon's New Map."
6. "IN EUROPE CRISIS, CONNECTION CULTURE STIFLES YOUTH."

Postscript: More than anything else, suburbanization ravaged the Rust Belt. Shrinking cities are victims of their own success.
