"Upper classes are a nation's past; the middle class is its future"

About this Quote

This quote by Ayn Rand talks with the significance of the center class in the future of a nation. The upper courses are a representation of the past, as well as the middle course is the depiction of the future. The top classes are often seen as one of the most blessed and also powerful in society, yet the middle course is the foundation of a nation. They are the ones that are responsible for the economic development as well as stability of a nation. They are the ones that are the most likely to be pioneers as well as business owners, developing new businesses and also tasks. They are the ones that are more than likely to be the most enlightened as well as have the most resources to buy their own future. The center course is the foundation of a nation's future, and also without them, a nation can not advance.
