Highlights the role that asset accumulation by the middle class and the poor can play in fostering a degree of economic autonomy of the non-rich, in improving wealth distribution and in enhancing political stability as in a society with a wider pattern of ownership of assets, citizens are less prone to support destabilizing policies, either populist or authoritarian. Identifies some priority areas for new policies that protect growth, strengthen the middle class, promote asset building and ultimately, strengthen democracy by giving citizens a stake in the asset base of society. 10/4/07 JOYD M S6861 31915 31915 0 0 0 0 CRCM CRCM 2023-05-08 0 11.02.05 S6861 0000000025929 2023-05-08 00:00:00 2023-05-08 M
