GREAT ARTICLE SERIES

The Picture of Class-Divides in America Today.....very very important read--ongoing series in the NYTimes.

Class in America: Shadowy Lines That Still Divide - New York Times: "One surprising finding about mobility is that it is not higher in the United States than in Britain or France. It is lower here than in Canada and some Scandinavian countries but not as low as in developing countries like Brazil, where escape from poverty is so difficult that the lower class is all but frozen in place."
