The Real Class War. Since at least 2016, the divide between the “working class” and the “elite” has been considered a defining issue in American (and Western) politics.
This divide has been defined in occupational terms (“blue collar” versus “information workers”), geographic terms (rural and exurban regions versus major urban cores), and meritocratic terms (non-college-educated versus those with elite credentials). Occasionally, it is given an explicitly moral connotation (“somewheres” versus “anywheres,” “deplorables” versus “cosmopolitans”). All of these glosses effectively track basic economic categories: those who are seen to have enjoyed success in recent decades and those who have been “left behind.” America’s Professional Elite: Wealthy, Successful and Miserable.

But housing is also expensive in cities like London, New York, San Francisco and even Seattle. However, those cities have a distinct advantage - a strong economy, a highly-skilled labour force and an abundance of good paying jobs. Vancouver doesn't have a major industry. No banking sector, no auto assembly plants, no aerospace and very few large head offices. Although Vancouver has the labour force and intellectual capital, governments have shunned traditional industries such as mining, energy or manufacturing in favour of low paying jobs in tourism and the film industry.
The city desperately needs value-added work, more than anywhere else in Canada. The Gender Wage Gap Myth and 5 Other Feminist Fantasies. Much of what we hear about the plight of American women is false.

Pension Reform in Sweden: Lessons for American Policymakers. Sweden has a long tradition of social insurance.1 Indeed, it was the first nation to implement a mandatory government retirement system for all citizens.2 Nevertheless, Sweden is now one of the world's leaders in the global shift to private pension systems.
The Swedish pension program faced financial problems similar to the troubles plaguing the U.S. Social Security system, and the Swedes decided that partial privatization was the best solution. For Americans, the Swedish example shows that pension reform and privatization are sound solutions to a pressing problem. In Sweden, pension reform occurred because policymakers from both sides of the political spectrum realized that reform was the only way to ensure a safe and comfortable retirement income for today's workers. During the 1980s, Swedish lawmakers became increasingly aware that the country's National Basic Pension and National Supplementary Pension were not well adapted to meet future challenges.
