Opis

Universities of the 1930s, declared one observer, were "loafing places for rich men's sons." In Making a Middle Class Paul Axelrod challenges this popular perception, arguing that while students who attended university during the Great Depression were relatively privileged, the majority were neither terribly affluent nor completely sheltered from hard economic times. Nor were they all men.
