Widening inequality and the loss of jobs to trade and technology has left a significant portion of the American workforce disenfranchised and skeptical of governments and corporations alike. And yet both have a role to play in improving the country for all. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Sawhill argues for a policy agenda based on mainstream values, such as family, education, and work. Although many have lost faith in government programs designed to help them, there are still trusted institutions on both the local and the federal level that can deliver better job opportunities and higher wages to those who have been left behind. At the same time, the private sector needs to reexamine how it trains and rewards employees. This book provides a clear-headed and middle-way path to a better-functioning society in which personal responsibility is honored and inclusive capitalism and more broadly shared growth are once more the norm.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Yale University Press","offers":[{"title":"Forgotten Americans: An Economic Agenda for a Divided Nation | Isabel Sawhill | Hardcover | 9780300230369 | Used: Very Good | Economics 1405086","offer_id":50575813280002,"sku":"1405086","price":25.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/81Cc_YIcqvL.jpg?v=1790895999","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/forgotten-americans-an-economic-agenda-for-a-divided-nation","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
