Recommendation:
This book is a must-read for those interested in social and economic reform. Will Hutton argues that the key to restoring the American dream is through a partnership with Europe, where core values such as an honest and enlightened economy, a vital public realm and a recognition of interdependence are prioritized. Hutton also discusses how rampant materialism and an unquestioning faith in American exceptionalism have led to the deterioration of essential core values. With clear, cogent arguments and calls to action, this book is a game-changer for those seeking a more equitable and just society.
