A surprising and revealing look at how today's elite view their wealth and place in society

From TV's "real housewives" to The Wolf of Wall Street, our popular culture portrays the wealthy as materialistic and entitled. But what do we really know about those who live on "easy street"? In this penetrating book, Rachel Sherman draws on rare in-depth interviews that she conducted with fifty affluent New Yorkers--from hedge fund financiers and artists to stay-at-home mothers--to examine their lifestyle choices and understanding of privilege. Sherman upends images of wealthy people as invested only in accruing social advantages for themselves and their children. Instead, these liberal elites, who believe in diversity and meritocracy, feel conflicted about their position in a highly unequal society. As the distance between rich and poor widens, Uneasy Street not only explores the lives of those at the top but also sheds light on how extreme inequality comes to seem ordinary and acceptable to the rest of us.

Perfect for my son!
Color: Purple, Size: 7 Years, Color: Purple, Size: 7 Years
Loved that the pants were adjustable and it fit my son perfectly and was shipped fast for Halloween! This was cheaper than a Halloween costume but the quality was 10x better than any bulk Halloween costume store ! We did a DIY joker & I absolutely loved how it turned out ! Definitely could use this for a formal event !

Great 4 piece for a wedding!
Color: Black, Size: 12 Years
My so. Is 10 years old but super skinny and super tall. The pants had an adjustable waist which was perfect for me to adjust to his skinny waist. The length was perfect. The material was great and it was well made. The tie was super easy to put on and the vest has an adjustable band on the back. This was perfect for a wedding he was attending. He looked so handsome! Great price too.

Great suit order well ahead in case need resizing
It great! My son loves suitz , the only reason I took a star is because the pants were past his ankle very short so we ended up have to use other pants. The shirt and vest fitted perfectly!
