Leslie takes the case of the Stanford Financial Group (SFG) – the second largest Ponzi scheme on record – to explore the vulnerability built into middle classness. To be middle-class, he shows, is to occupy not just a material location but a moral and epistemic one in which class members are obliged to trust from a place of ignorance.
