The first, by our senior economist Stephen Rose is posted on <a href="http://www.prospect.org/web/index.ww">The American Prospect</a> website. It’s entitled <a href="http://www.prospect.org/web/page.ww?section=root&#38;name=ViewWeb&#38;articleId=11943"><em>What’s (not) wrong with the middle class?</em></a> and it is one of the most insightful and counterintuitive economic pieces I have seen in a long time. The Rose piece was featured in David Brooks’ NYTimes op-ed today.</p> <p>The second piece is by Adam Solomon, Anne Kim and myself entitled <a href="http://dispatch.third-way.com/files/Democratic_Strategist.pdf"><em>Why a message of misery fails with the middle class.</em></a> It was posted last week on an exciting new website called <a href="http://www.thedemocraticstrategist.com">The Democratic Strategist</a>, which is the brainchild of some wicked smart people—Bill Galston, Ruy Teixera, Scott Winship, and others. Our article gets a starring role in Rich Lowry’s column in <a href="http://www.nationalreview.com/">The National Review.</a> Take a look at our piece and follow the discussion at <a href="http://www.thedemocraticstrategist.com">www.thedemocraticstrategist.com.</a> It’s great to be in The National Review, but we’d like some progressives to read this as well.</p>
