Dream Hoarders

In "Dream Hoarders," Richard V. Reeves delves into one of the most pressing issues in American society: the widening gap between the upper middle class and the rest of the population. Published by Bloomsbury Publishing Plc in 2018, this thought-provoking book spans 206 pages, making a compelling case that the upper middle class—defined as those in the top 20% of income earners—plays a crucial role in perpetuating this divide. Reeves explores how this growing separation manifests in various aspects of life, including family structure, neighborhoods, attitudes, and lifestyle choices. Through insightful analysis and engaging prose, "Dream Hoarders" challenges readers to reconsider the implications of income distribution and social mobility in the United States. This second edition is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of class dynamics and their impact on society.
