Remember the old American Dream about your children living better than you? If you can, you're probably also wondering why that once prevalent expectation is dissolving. Arianna Huffington's Third World America paints a picture of a country where the rich get richer and the middle class has slipped into freefall; a nation with a crumbling infrastructure and an educational system in chronic disrepair. She argues that this downward spiral is not just the temporary result of a cyclical meltdown, but is fast becoming an irrevocable condition that could permanently undermine our nation's future. Not simply a jeremiad, this book offers real world solutions. (Hand-selling tip: As the creator and keeper of the net's Huffington News, this author is famous, influential, and articulate.)
