The United States has been epitomized as a land of opportunity, where hard work and skill can bring personal success and economic well-being. The American Dream has captured the imagination of people from all walks of life, and to many, it represents the heart and soul of the country. But there is another, darker side to the bargain that America strikes with its people -- it is the price we pay for our individual pursuit of the American Dream. That price can be found in the economic hardship present in the lives of millions of Americans. In Chasing the American Dream, leading social scientists Mark Robert Rank, Thomas A. Hirschl, and Kirk A. Foster provide a new and innovative look into a curious dynamic -- the tension between the promise of economic opportunities and rewards and the amount of turmoil that Americans encounter in their quest for those rewards. The authors explore questions such as: -What percentage of Americans achieve affluence, and how much income mobility do we actually have? -Are most Americans able to own a home, and at what age? -How is it that nearly 80 percent of us will experience significant economic insecurity at some point between ages 25 and 60? -How can access to the American Dream be increased? Combining personal interviews with dozens of Americans and a longitudinal study covering 40 years of income data, the authors tell the story of the American Dream and reveal a number of surprises. The risk of economic vulnerability has increased substantially over the past four decades, and the American Dream is becoming harder to reach and harder to keep. Yet for most Americans, the Dream lies not in wealth, but in economic security, pursuing one's passions, and looking toward the future. Chasing the American Dream provides us with a new understanding into the dynamics that shape our fortunes and a deeper insight into the importance of the American Dream for the future of the country.

An entrepreneur offers a vision for a new wave of American economic success. A unique, original and timely recommendation for the economic future of the United States in the 21st century, offering well-researched and well thought-out proposals sure to spark discussion! "Mr. Sharma is an intellectual business leader". Drawing on history, economic theory and his own experience as an immigrant, an employee and an entrepreneur, Sharma (Global Outsourcing, 2005) lays out a road map for American prosperity based on innovation and a high-tech infrastructure that allows the best and brightest to both collaborate and compete. The book begins with an overview of what the author defines as the two previous American dreams: one in an agricultural economy based on family farms in the 19th century, and the other in a broad base of homeowners subsidized by government policy in the 20th century. Sharma's vision for the 21st century and beyond relies on a governmental policy that provides a structure for federally backed startup funding—a structure, he says, more effective than venture capitalists focused on quick profits and one that will become self-sustaining as successful businesses share equity rather than repay interest. That startup funding would be supported by a network of national and regional hubs for education and innovation, guided by the understanding that manufacturing as well as the service industry are necessary for a stable economy.The book goes into detail as to how the education, health and energy sectors would develop under this plan. It is clear that Sharma has thought through the details of his fundamental reorganization of the economy, as the book offers not only big-picture theoretical explanations for his advice, but also itemized discussions of how his proposed structures, such as a Cabinet-level innovation department and an integrated system of in-person and remote education, should be set up, funded and operated. The book successfully handles a very broad and integrated topic in a very clear and distilled way. It is almost breathtaking in its scope, vision and sheer audacity.Although the book is at times overly enthusiastic about American uniquenesses - "In any other country, if one played well and lost the game it is still applauded, but not in the United States”; "We forget that Americans, by nature, are the most competitive people on this planet” - Sharma does point out that he reached this conclusion after years of international experience. After all, "While the world is copying the past, America is innovating" for future.Sharma's call to the 'policy makers to be predictive to stay relevant to the present' is very timely in the age of big data analytics. It is time for everyone to understand what needs to be done to create a futuristic business and life ecosystem that unleash the potential of each and every human being on this planet. USA has a distinct advantage to show a practical roadmap for that!This is the revised 2nd Edition of the book that has already received very positive endorsements over last one year.
