Dismantling the American Dream : Globalization, Free Trade, Immigration, Unemployment, Poverty, Debt, Foreign Dependency, and More

In the late 1990s the United States began to experience a lingering recession that is still hurting our businesses, workers and their families. Is this the typical recession from which we always rebound, or could this downturn represent the early stages of a far greater American tragedy? The eyes of American citizens, the news media, and some political leaders are beginning to open. After studying the origins of American prosperity and our present policies, it has become apparent that our leaders, albeit with good intentions, may have taken us down some very dangerous roads. This book will provide a down-to-earth and uncensored insight into the many issues that now confront our country. Fortunately, although we got ourselves into this mess, we also have the power and ability to fix these problems. But will we? Grab a coffee or soda, relax, and get ready to take a journey with an American friend. Book jacket.
