...Growing economic polarization, she argues, has made the professional class, which is inherently insecure, more smug and selfish. Much of her evidence involves incidental, sometimes lighthearted perceptions about how this uneasiness reveals itself. To escape association with a shrinking middle class, yuppies have learned to choose the baby bass en croute over the chef's salad, Italian knit sweaters over flannel shirts, running over basketball and handcrafted cabinets over mass-produced maple...
