Uneasy Street: The Anxieties of Affluence is a sociology book by Rachel Sherman that examines how wealthy New York parents understand their money, status, and responsibilities in an unequal society. Based on in-depth interviews with fifty affluent people, including financiers, lawyers, artists, professors, and stay-at-home parents, the book challenges simplistic cultural images of the rich as openly selfish or complacent. Instead, Sherman shows that many affluent liberal elites experience real discomfort about privilege, often trying to see themselves as ordinary, merit-based, or only temporarily secure. The book is less interested in exposing scandal than in explaining how affluence is lived, justified, and normalized. It also shows how social norms around privacy and polite silence make it difficult to talk honestly about class and inequality. As a result, the book offers both a close look at elite self-understanding and a wider account of how inequality becomes easier for society to accept.
