"Whatever its faults, middle-class nationalism provided a common ground, common standards, a common frame of reference, without which society dissolves into nothing more than contending factions, as the Founding Fathers of America understood so well—a war of all against all."
Social mobility and middle class wages (in real terms) are lower now than in the past. My parents came as refugees, and they'd have a harder time now than then. It's the progressive's conceit to assume we stand at the apex of moral history, but I tend to be skeptical.

Social mobility for WHITES or EU immigrants - yes. But that is a very narrow way to measure success. If you are Asian or Indian - you are much better off now than in than in the 50s
