An Abandoned White Middle Class, an analysis

The question that this writer/editor is answering is "What is driving the populist movement in the 2016 election?" It is a relatively short article, but analytically astute.

"One can make an argument that over the long haul economic globalization will be good for all Americans. Perhaps, but in the meantime the gap grows. The top end of society is thoroughly committed. This leads to the following problem for politicians: The Democratic establishment must lie about its economic commitments, while promising to take care of the middle class, and Republicans can be frank about their free-market commitments, while having very little to offer middle class voters."
