Coming Apart
Coming Apart: The State of White America, 1960-2010 | Charles A. Murray
4 posts | 4 read | 1 reading | 6 to read
The controversial best-selling author of The Bell Curve presents a sobering critique of the white American class structure that argues that the paths of social mobility that once advanced the nation are now serving to further isolate an elite upper class while enforcing a growing and resentful white underclass, with culturally disastrous potential.

Fascinating look at the development over time of the new upper-middle class and the new lower class. Murray takes an in-depth look at the direction Tr country is headed as a burgeoning class bubbles begins to divide America. Incredibly relevant, even 6 yrs later.

"My proposition is that the hollow elite is as dysfunctional in its way as the new lower class is in its way. Personally and as families, its members are successful. But they have abdicated their responsibility to set and promulgate standards.

quote
Kjon

"A social conservative may see a compelling case for government policies that support marriage, religion, and traditional values. I am a libertarian, and see a compelling case for returning to the founders' concept of limited government."
