Public Poverty and the Middle Class Living Standard : A Note

This note, working from the basis of the author's prior paper, argues that the relatively high consumption standard associated with American "middle classness" was defined by the requirements of providing a household a minimum of comfort, mobility, security and economic opportunity in a context of (to use John Kenneth Galbraith's terminology) "private affluence" and "public poverty."
