Time of Great Dying: Population Bomb Bursts, the End of Old-Growth Forests, and the Great Awakening

According to the Pew Research Center, 61 percent of Americans were middle class in 1971. By 2015 that total had declined to 50 percent. During that same interval, the percentage in the lower economic class rose from 16 percent to 20 percent. Continue reading
