research paper, I analyzed the data for 10029 zip code available at American Fact Finder website. As it turned out, this Upper East Side area that starts from 96th Street and goes all the way up to 117th Street is very diverse.

sually, when one belongs to the middle class it’s subjective to the place of inhabitance. In my case I’d say I’ve experienced fifty-shades of middle class inequality. It was recorded that between 1979-2007 the “median family income (in U.S.) rose by 35 percent, while incomes for those at the 99th percentile rose by 278 percent” . Consequently, this extent of economic inequality has applied pressures, set boundaries and limited the opportunities available to me. This in turn has impacted my…

The main premise of the second chapter of Plutocrats, the Culture of the Plutocrat, is to give readers a sense of the culture of the world that the ultra rich grow from and live in. While many preconceived notions that the average person has about the ultra rich in are confirmed, many are also challenged.
