Summary
"The unemployment rate has neared record lows and the stock market neared record highs in 2019. Yet the gap between low- and moderate-income Americans and their wealthier counterparts is greater than ever. In 2019, founder and CEO of Promontory Financial Group Gene Ludwig gathered a bipartisan group of the nation's foremost economic thinkers (academics and politicians, CEOs, and former presidential advisors) to break with convention and candidly discuss that widening gap. This book comes from their insights. Ordinary Americans are struggling along common lines and raising questions about our nation's future. Where should government invest? What role should the private sector play? And how did our American Dream begin to slip into myth? While they debate the solutions, these diverse men and women find one point in common: there's a prosperity problem in America"--
