Second Class

How the Elites Betrayed America's Working Men and Women
Book • 2024
In 'Second Class', Batya Ungar-Sargon presents a detailed look at the lives of American working-class individuals through extensive interviews and data analysis.

The book is divided into two parts: the first profiles the state of the working class, categorizing them into the Struggling, Floating, and Rising tiers; the second proposes policy solutions to improve their lives.

Ungar-Sargon addresses key issues such as immigration, job requirements, and the social safety net, arguing that the elites have betrayed the working class by prioritizing the interests of capital owners over wage-earners.

The book emphasizes the need for policies that benefit working-class Americans and highlights the disconnect between the political class and the everyday concerns of working people.
