| Sumario: | Although middle-income families don't earn much more than they did several decades ago, they are buying bigger cars, houses, and appliances. To pay for them, they spend more than they earn and carry record levels of debt.

Writing in lively prose for a general audience, Frank employs up-to-date eco. |
