In this groundbreaking and timely book, Killing The American Dream, renowned investigative journalist and author Robert B. Reich exposes the hidden forces that are destroying the American economy and society. Reich argues that we are witnessing the rise of a new class of elites—the neoliberal elites—who are enriching themselves at the expense of everyone else. These elites have rigged the rules of the economy so that they can reap all the benefits while the rest of us struggle to get by. As a result, the American Dream is dying.

Reich's book is a meticulously researched and deeply informed indictment of the neoliberal elites. He shows how these elites have used their power to create a system that benefits them at the expense of everyone else. They have deregulated the economy, allowing corporations to run rampant and cheat consumers and workers. They have cut taxes for the wealthy and corporations, while raising taxes for everyone else. They have slashed social programs that help the poor and middle class. And they have rigged the political system so that they can maintain their power and control.

The result of all of this is a society that is increasingly divided between the rich and the poor. The rich are getting richer, while the poor are getting poorer. The middle class is shrinking, and the American Dream is dying. Reich argues that we need to take back our democracy and our economy from the neoliberal elites. We need to create a new system that works for everyone, not just the wealthy and powerful.

Killing The American Dream is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the forces that are destroying our economy and society. It is a clarion call for change, and a roadmap for how we can create a better future for all Americans.
