About the Program
Charles Murray, scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, argues that white America's class divide has grown to a level that has isolated the upper class and created a separation that may foment class warfare amongst an ever-growing lower class. Utilizing census records from 1960 and 2000, Mr. Murray examines the growth of the class divide, the demise of a shared civic culture and the development of separate cultural understandings for the upper and lower classes. Charles Murray speaks at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington, D.C.
