"A well-reasoned call. . . . A cogent argument for an economy benefiting working people."
—Kirkus Reviews"Perpetrated by those in power, there is a myth that anyone can make it if they work hard enough and play by the rules; that public help is unimportant or not needed.

As Natalie Foster makes clear, heroic work by people all over this country has combined to set the stage for establishing a decent society at last.
