The Working Class and the Business Class

These were the American social classes I was aware of as a child, in Ft. Madison, Iowa, in the Forties.

My Father's father was a Union member and an ardent one, and a proud member of the Working class.

My father was a Small businessman, read Business Week completely every week, and believed what it said.

When small businesses went out of business in the Sixties, to be replaced by Big Business, this was a huge change in the economy.

That most Americans refuse to recognize.
