The USA politically is only has pluralism on the social side - "There isn't a Democratic or Republican party, only the money party." There is little pluralism for finance and business There is even less pluralism on foreign policy, which is dominated by small number of people. Most of the "debate" centers on social issues - abortion, welfare, education, drugs, health care, etc. The US has cultural and ethnic diversity, but considerably less political diversity. ***** The Newsweek people seem to be unaware of the US and UK middle class in the 19th century, who tended to nationalism and expansion in much the same way as the people they write about.

New middle class shape and form will be known in five years. in 2015 those born after 1990 will enter working force and have never known what the Lost decade was. We still don't know how they will vote or what patterns of consumption they will have. I am raising one at home aka Experiment. I have reasons to believe they are not going to ressemble any Brazilian that lived through the Lost Decade
