Synopsis
Issues in the current society we live in are the direct consequence of a decades-long economic consensus that prioritized increasing consumptionregardless of the costs to American workers, their families, and their communities. Donald Trumps rise to the presidency focused attention on the depth of the nations challenges, yet while everyone agrees something must change, the Lefts insistence on still more government spending and the Rights faith in still more economic growth are recipes for repeating the mistakes of the past. In this groundbreaking re-evaluation of American society, economics, and public policy, Oren Cass challenges our basic assumptions about what prosperity means and where it comes from to reveal how we lost our way. The good news is that we can still turn things aroundif the nations proverbial elites are willing to put the American workers interests first. The renewal of work in America demands new answers to these questions. If we reinforce their vital role, workers supporting strong families and communities can provide the foundation for a thriving, self-sufficient society that offers opportunity to all.
