This book by Alissa Quart explores the myths and realities surrounding the American Dream, particularly the ideal of self-reliance. Quart critiques the cultural narrative that individuals must succeed independently, often ignoring systemic inequalities and societal factors. The author draws on her experiences running the Economic Hardship Reporting Project, highlighting the challenges faced by economically vulnerable individuals. She examines the social constructs that perpetuate self-blame among those struggling financially, and challenges the glorification of individual success stories. Quart argues for a reevaluation of what constitutes success and advocates for a more supportive and equitable society. The book addresses readers interested in social justice, economic inequality, and cultural studies.

It's time for an American comeback -- and it starts with innovation.Throughout its history, America's great innovators have been the drivers of our unsurpassed economic success.

"America has broken its contract with its laboring class. So, how do we get back to the American Dream? How do we once again become the land of opportunity, the promised land where hard work and commitment to family are enough to protect you from poverty? It's not that hard actually. All it would take, as this book illustrates, is for those in power to once again respect the dignity of work-and the American worker"--
