Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

With college debts levels skyrocketing and a tough job market, many young people are putting off home ownership and are unable to enter the middle class. Is the economy killing jobs? Is it geared against young workers? Is immigration helping or hurting the American Dream? Does Affirmative Action ensure equal access to the American Dream? This anthology interrogates these questions from diverse angles, grounding abstract policy arguments in real life events. Gain greater insight into the state of the American Dream in the new century and how it might still be attainable. Features previously published material from figures such as Barack Obama, Rupert Murdoch, and Laurie A. Johnson.
