Dream Hoarders: How the American Upper Middle Class Is Leaving Everyone Else in the Dust, Why That Is a Problem, and What to Do about by Richard V. Reeves

4.0

This book was a great thinking piece for why the top 20% of the population (households earning over $120,000) are as much a problem in creating a classist society as are the top 1%. It was an uncomfortable read/listen, as it proposes solutions that would directly impact ME in a financially negative way, but I'm all for lifting those lower than I am, so I completely understand where he is coming from. All of the solutions are very high-level and policy-based, but for the lowly citizen, it can at least make you give pause when moving the earth to give your child every single opportunity to try to move them ahead of the rest, or moving out of a lower class neighborhood to one with better schools........a provocative read for sure.
