Is this new? Is it the same across all societies? What are the manifestations of middle-class anxiety around you and what is your take on them? And then back to our earlier question, is the middle class disappearing? And is it a good or a bad thing?_x000D_ _x000D_ Let's have an intelligent and enlightening discussion about the woes of the middle class.
