Hersh May 2012 WWW.AMERICANPROGRESS.ORG The American Middle Class, Income Inequality, and the Strength of Our Economy New Evidence in Economics Heather Boushey and Adam S. Hersh May 2012 Contents 1 Introduction and summary 9 The relationship between a strong middle class, the development of human capital, a well-educated citizenry, and economic growth 23 A strong middle class provides a strong and stable source of demand 33 The middle class incubates entrepreneurs 39 A strong middle class supports inclusive political and economic institutions, which underpin growth 44 Conclusion 46 About the authors 47 Acknowledgements 48 Endnotes Introduction and summary To say that the middle class is important to our economy may seem noncontro- versial to most Americans. After all, most of us self-identify as middle class, and members of the middle class observe every day how their work contributes to the economy, hear weekly how their spending is a leading indicator for economic prognosticators, and see every month how jobs numbers, which primarily reflect middle-class jobs, are taken as the key measure of how the economy is faring. And as growing income inequality has risen in the nation’s consciousness, the plight of the middle class has become a common topic in the press and policy circles. For most economists, however, the concepts of “middle class” or even inequal- ity have not had a prominent place in our thinking about how an economy grows. This, however, is beginning to change.

Smelser and Richard Swedberg, eds. Forthcoming Russell Sage Foundation and Princeton University Press. Mabel Berezin Associate Professor of Sociology 354 Uris Hall Cornell University Ithaca, New York 14853 607-255-4042 [email protected] 1 I wish to acknowledge Neil Smelser’s cogent comments on the first version of this manuscript. The patience of both editors has greatly enhanced the final product. Brooke West provided able assistance with tracking down references. 2 The Return of Emotion Emotion and economy describes a relation that social scientists have only recently begun to acknowledge and valorize. Outside of various fields of psychology, sociologists and economists often treat emotions as residual categories. It is arguable that the project of modern social science from its European 19th century origins to its contemporary variations defines emotion out of social action in general and economic action in particular. In contrast to other contributions to this volume that discuss more or less established literatures, this chapter attempts to suggest plausible analytic frames that re- inscribe emotion in social and economic action. Even though strong, let alone competing, paradigms have not developed around emotion and economy, this pairing does not constitute an uncharted terrain. Emotions, rather than gone from sociological and economic analysis, have been more aptly in disciplinary exile. Multiple signs suggest that emotions are re-entering sociological and economic analysis.

  • Ugly Encounters in Scandinavian Au-Pair Novel
    Elisabeth Oxfeldt “I Come from Crap Country and You Come from Luxury Country”: Ugly Encounters in Scandinavian Au-Pair Novels In the new millennium, the use of au pairs in the Scandinavian countries has increased steadily.1 Women hire au pairs because of a perceived time bind; without help, the woman in the Scandinavian household is likely to reduce her workload outside the home (Liversage, Bille, and Jakobsen 2013, 16). This may come as a surprise to those who have come to think of the Scandinavian countries as particularly happy and egalitarian. British journalist Helen Russell, for instance, decided to move to Denmark for a year to explore Danish happiness. Attending a language class, she finds herself surrounded by among others, half a dozen Filipino girls working as au pairs. Russell wonders: “’Isn’t everyone supposed to be equal in Denmark? Aren’t Danes supposed to do their own cleaning and child rearing?’” (2015, 69). The answer according to a 2013-report on the Danish au-pair program is “No”. Public institutions take care of children during work hours, and, increasingly, au pairs take care of house cleaning in general, and children during stressful moments at home, such as mornings and right before dinner (Liversage, Bille, and Jakobsen 2013, 16).2 As the report points out, this is far from unproblematic. While the term “au pair” suggests that the relationship between host family and au pair encompasses a cultural exchange between equals, in reality it is full of violations and grey areas.3 Subsequently, the au 1 In Denmark, for instance, the Au-Pair Convention (established by the European Council in 1969) was ratified in 1972.

URL : http://journals.openedition.org/spp/2660 © CIES - Centro de Investigação e Estudos de Sociologia INTERVIEW WITH ARLIE RUSSELL HOCHSCHILD BY MADALENA D’OLIVEIRA-MARTINS Madalena d’Oliveira-Martins Institute for Culture and Society, Pamplona, Spain Two years ago, I had the chance to do a research stay at Berkeley, and meet with sociologist Arlie Russell Hochschild for the first time. I was conducting research for my thesis and wanted to know more about Hochschild’s work and academic life; she graciously agreed to participate in an in-depth interview, which was con- ducted in Berkeley during February 2014 and updated and revised throughout January and May 2016. An abbreviated version was published in the Internatio- nal Sociological Association newsletter Global Dialogue in September 2014. Today, it seems of utmost importance to publish the complete interview with a comple- mentary update. Hochschild is one of the most distinguished sociologists of our time. Through her work on the sociology of emotions, the American sociologist explores the most urgent problems and challenges our societies face.
