The following link is to an article in the NYTimes magazine and it discusses the shrinking middle class in the U.S., U.S. standard of living v. other advance societies and the widening gap between the rich and poor. The article is extremely long, however it is very informative. The article was written by a Princeton Professor who often writes columns for the NY Times magazine so the statistics and info contained therein are fact based, not opinion.
