The MIDDLE CLASS: Increasingly Fond Memories of a Grim Past

David S. Mason

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Despite seemingly successful reforms in many post-communist countries, increasing numbers of people have been sliding from the middle class into poverty. Nostalgia for the late communist era is on the rise, and a new study warns that the perceived levels of social and economic decline surpass the actual ones-- which could spell trouble for the reformers.
