The Disappearing Middle Class: Domestic and Foreign Policy Perspectives

Join us for a fireside chat with US foreign policy expert Jake Sullivan and Professor Emily Blanchard as they explore the diverging perspectives and policy responses to the disappearing middle class.  

As Jake notes in The Old New Democrats, the percentage of both upper-income and lower-income households in the U.S. has increased since 1971, hollowing out the middle class from 61 percent to below 50 percent of all households. While it remains a top priority of all U.S. administrations to protect and enhance Americans’ security and economic prosperity, views diverge across the political spectrum regarding how best to do this and whether the U.S. role abroad is adequately advancing the middle class at home.

Is it time to re-imagine our economic policy?
