(Check out the volume of Raymond Carver stories packaged with Robert Altman...
...you’ve ever had the misfortune of visiting an upper-middle class subdivision, you know exactly what I’m talking about.

The law serves the middle classes, not the periferia," he adds, referring to the sprawling slums that surround São Paolo. "Now the law of the periferia is being visited on the middle classes." Lula came to power in 2002, promising to reduce a gap between rich and poor that sees 45% of national income going to 10% of the wealthiest households. His government has delivered programs...
