| Summary |
"The American Dream" means many things to many people, but at its core are three economic goals: a rising standard of living, financial security, and upward mobility. During the last 30 years, the economy of the United States has been radically transformed. In the same time period, the possibilities for realizing the American Dream have also been radically transformed, and for the worse, particularly for those at the bottom of the income distribution. This book is based upon two premises. The first is that the pervasiveness of the withering of the American Dream across this country is a story. |
