Fear of Falling: The Inner Life of the Middle Class

Fear of Falling closely examines the insecurities of the American middle class in an attempt to explain its turn to the right during the last two decades of the 20th century. Ehrenreich traces the myths about the middle class to their roots, determines what led to the shrinking of what was once a healthy percentage of the population, and how, in its ambition and anxiety, that population has retreated from responsible leadership. Fear of Falling places the middle class of yesterday under the microscope and reveals exactly how we arrived at the middle class of today.
