    If Americans Are So Accepting, Why Do Many of Us Now View Each Other as Morally Bankrupt?0

    Most Americans have a “live-and-let-live” attitude toward morality. “Does it hurt anyone else?” Americans ask. If the answer is no, then the action is morally acceptable.

    The avalanche of identity politics has spurred an interest in studying income inequality along cultural lines. Surprisingly, leftists have deviated from their fixation on class warfare to privileging race and gender disparities. It is even more bewildering that few writers recognize the devaluing of class dynamics in popular debates. Invariably, income inequality is mainly about
