If there was any question before, there is no longer a question
today: inequality, discrimination, poverty, and mobility are
prominent national issues. The notion of "The American Dream" has
been sold to generations of young Americans as the idea that
working hard and following your dreams will allow you to break
through any barriers in your path and inevitably lead to success.
However, recent findings on inequality, discrimination, poverty,
and mobility show that "The American Reality" is very different.
The second edition of this introductory-level text brings together
the essential materials on what economists have to say about these
findings and brings students up to date with current thinking. It
covers several ground-shattering events, such as: the election of
Barack Obama followed by Donald Trump; the passage of the
Affordable Care Act and attempts to repeal it; and the publication
of Thomas Piketty's Capital in the 21st Century, among many others.
With an emphasis on data, theory, and policy, this book tackles
these issues by exploring three key questions in each chapter: What
do the data tell us about what has been happening to the American
economy? What are the economic theories needed to understand what
has been happening? What are the policy ideas and controversies
associated with these economic problems? Key controversies are
highlighted in each chapter to drive classroom discussion, and
end-of-chapter questions develop student understanding. This
clearly written text is ideally suited to a wide variety of courses
on contemporary economic conditions, inequality, and social
economics in the United States.
