Who Stole the American Dream



I just watched a thought-provocative talk: "How the Rich Bought America: Why the Middle Class Is Struggling - Personal Finance (2012)" by Hedrick Smith.

Smith was a reporter and editor for The New York Times, a producer/correspondent for the PBS show Frontline, and is the author of several books.The talk is based upon one of these books, "Who Stole the American Dream?". 

This book was published in 2012, made The New York Times national bestseller's list, and I never heard about the publication until today. The talk on YouTube probably re-surfaced because of all the commotion around the upcoming elections. It is ironic that everything Smith said in 2012 is still relevant and nothing has been done, no improvement has been achieved in the past four years.

If you have not read the book, might be of interest to listen to the talk. Especially NOW, before the elections of 2016. I was so impressed by the talk that I will seek to read the book.
