“Today, people of affluence and people of modest means live increasingly separate lives. We live and work and shop and play in different places. We send our kids to different schools. I call this the ‘skyboxification of American life.’ This marks a departure from the Minnesota of our youth. It is corrosive of citizenship and democratic equality. At the time, we scarcely noticed this democratic civic landscape. It formed the background conditions of everyday life. It is more evident in retrospect, now that it has become a distant memory.”
