Beschreibung:
America's safety net is torn and tattered. Income inequality continues to grow the gap between rich and poor has expanded fivefold in the last twenty-five years. For millions of working families, achieving basic middle-class comforts has begun to seem as distant a dream as winning the lottery. What is needed, and what veteran organizer and ACORN founder Wade Rathke provides in this hard-hitting new book, is a comprehensive grassroots strategy to create what he calls citizen wealth: an enduring foundation on which working people can build a future that extends beyond paying next month's rent.
