In America at Risk: The Crisis of Hope, Trust, and Caring, Robert
Perrucci and Carolyn C. Perrucci identify the broad economic and
technological changes that have led to the loss of high wage jobs,
declining opportunity, and increased income and wealth inequality.
These changes have altered the way that Americans think about
themselves, their future, and the lives of their children and
neighbors. Focusing on the erosion of trust, hope, and caring
between and among Americans and their social institutions, the
authors confront the challenge by proposing policies that will
build hope (through jobs and wages) in order to promote greater
trust of institutions and more caring for the less fortunate.
Examining data from the past thirty-year period, Perrucci and
Perrucci apply a critical sociological lens to view the dominant
economic, political, and cultural institutions that have shaped the
main social problems facing Americans. They challenge Americans to
act on behalf of their individual and collective interests by
becoming informed and involved in developing new solutions to
improve their lives.
