The New York Times Magazine is running a number of article on poverty and class in America. I highly recommend taking the thirty minutes or so it will take to read through some of these articles. They do a great job highlighting issues of class that increasingly present themselves in U.S. society, especially as the wealthy have been getting wealthier and the poor have been getting poorer over the last 30 years or so.

The Inequality Conundrum
Thanks for mentioning the NYTimes Magazine for this month– you are right- the disparity of wealth is ever growing–especially here in Miami. It’s nice to see it finally hit the national spotlight and hopefully change the business practices of the super wealthy on Fisher Island.
Glad to help spread the message, Tanya.
