"Sherman takes a dispassionate approach to find out how those who are 'benefitting from rising economic inequality' experience 'their own social advantages.' She elicits her subjects' thoughts about work and productivity, charitable giving, marital discord and more. Worthwhile humanizing ensues, as do plenty of squirm-inducing moments." --John Williams, New York Times Book Review, 'eoeSherman offers something new and surprising: a look inside the 1 per cent'e(tm)s minds. . . . She shifts our understanding of today'e(tm)s dominant class.'e'e"Simon Kuper, Financial Times, "Sherman offers something new and surprising: a look inside the 1 per cent's minds. . . .

Synopsis
A surprising and revealing look at how today's elite view their wealth and place in societyFrom TV's "real housewives" to The Wolf of Wall Street, our popular culture portrays the wealthy as materialistic and entitled. But what do we really know about those who live on "easy street"? In this penetrating book, Rachel Sherman draws on rare in-depth interviews that she conducted with fifty affluent New Yorkers-from hedge fund financiers and artists to stay-at-home mothers-to examine their lifestyle choices and understanding of privilege. Sherman upends images of wealthy people as invested only in accruing social advantages for themselves and their children. Instead, these liberal elites, who believe in diversity and meritocracy, feel conflicted about their position in a highly unequal society. As the distance between rich and poor widens, Uneasy Street not only explores the lives of those at the top but also sheds light on how extreme inequality comes to seem ordinary and acceptable to the rest of us., A surprising and revealing look at how today's elite view their wealth and place in societyFrom TV's "real housewives" to The Wolf of Wall Street, our popular culture portrays the wealthy as materialistic and entitled.
