The Rise of the Global Middle Class

How the Search for the Good Life Can Change the World

Beschreibung

Homi Kharas looks at how the powerful dream of middle class life has captivated generations, from Victorian England to present day India, but its demands have led younger generations to ask if it is all worth it. Can the middle class continue to thrive, or will it falter under the stresses of automation, consumerism, pollution, and political strife?

Rezensionen

Kharas concludes on a hopeful note, arguing that the global middle class can be a force for social and political good if its members press for decarbonization, spend their money on sustainable products, and support policies that foster social mobility and create decent jobs for all.
