Publisher's Synopsis
The aftershocks of the Great Recession, the skyrocketing cost of living, and the titanic weight of student loan debt have made the American Dream seem to be forever retreating toward the horizon. As if that weren't enough, millennials will face the largest federal debt in history as boomers retire and extract trillions of dollars from Social Security and Medicare-far more than they contributed.
In this concise, data-driven book, Klein begins the work of brightening the future for millennials by analyzing the problem compassionately yet objectively. There are real reasons to worry about what lies ahead if nothing changes. But the facts laid out in Klein's book can steer the conversation to realistic solutions.
