Class Matters by New York Times

5.0

This is a fascinating series of articles by the New York Times on class in America. From the differences between the nouveau riche and old money to differences in healthcare to getting out of welfare the articles are unflinching looks into our financial lives. Ironically, the book is already dated. The impending mortgage crisis and financial freefall is still far off on the horizon (a reference to Lehman Brothers evoked a surly guffaw). Nonetheless, the book has many insights and truths to share. Anyone interested in these issues must read this one.
