Alienated America : why some places thrive while others collapse
Carney, Timothy P., 1978-2020
Books
Respected conservative journalist and commentator Timothy P. Carney continues the conversation begun with 'Hillbilly Elegy' and the classic 'Bowling Alone' in this hard-hitting analysis that identifies the true factor behind the decline of the American dream: it is not purely the result of economics as the left claims, but the collapse of the institutions that made us successful, including marriage, church, and civic life.During the 2016 presidential campaign, Donald J. Trump proclaimed, 'the American dream is dead,' and this message resonated across the country. Why do so many people believe that the American dream is no longer within reach?
