What does the term “aspirational class” mean? Because I can’t tell, and I don’t want to go off and be incorrect.
But I will say that prima facie it leaves a sour taste in my mouth because it sounds like it implies only rich people have aspirations.
It may be the case that part of the reason I hope to change the world someday is that a lot of gen x was raised with the message that we could and should (thanks Mom!), but... I’m troubled by the idea it’s all class and not at all personality.
