Our Kids

The American Dream in Crisis
in: Sociology
Summary:

The book examines the growing inequality gap in the United States and how it affects children's opportunities and future prospects. It presents a detailed analysis of the decline in social mobility and the widening class divide, using personal stories and extensive research to illustrate the challenges facing the next generation.

Key points:

1. Opportunity Gap: Putnam shows how kids from rich families have more chances than poor kids. It's not just about money but also about better schools, activities, and friends that help them succeed. This gap is making the American Dream harder to reach for many.
