The Standard of Living of Working-class Families
Material standards of living of a large group of families are difficult to summarise, but there is in most working-class communities a largely conventional element in the level at which each family tends to aim, which it will try to reach at almost all costs, and exceed only to spend the surplus on “inessentials” or on attempts to rise in the social scale. Even if this conventional standard is itself only a vague concept, it allows us to attach some significance to its change over time.
