Our economic arrangements require a persuasive story that can
explain who is rich, who is poor, and why. This story shapes our
attitudes toward what is just and unjust; this story dispenses
power to some and withholds it from others; and the deeply
political and paradoxical nature of this story presents a valuable
site of rhetorical inquiry. Economic Injustice and the Rhetoric of
the American Dream fills an important scholarly gap by connecting
the need to make sense of economic arrangements with the rhetoric
of the American Dream. Luke Winslow examines how the rhetoric of
the American Dream has emerged as a dominant cultural touchstone in
oscillation with a widespread shift to individualistic explanations
for economic arrangements, the arrival of neoliberalism, growing
levels on inequality, and dismal rates of economic mobility. By
developing the tools of rhetorical and ideological criticism this
book explores the American Dream in relation to religious,
economic, educational, and political institutions ranging from
Prosperity Theology to the candidacy and election of Donald Trump.
Recommended for scholars in Communication, Economics, Political
Science, and Religious Studies.
