Requests:  0 Summary:  Striking it rich is among the most resilient of American fantasies; we dream of the jackpot, the life-altering payday, in whatever form that takes. But rarely do we follow the fantasy to its conclusion: to ponder the social, psychological, and societal downsides of great affluence and the fact that so few possess it. Featuring dozens of interviews with fortunate citizens, Mechanic shares a compassionate, character-rich, perversely humorous, and ultimately troubling journey into the American wealth fantasy and where it has taken us. -- adapted from jacket   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hana P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 305.5234 Me Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 305.5234 Me Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.5234 Me Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.5234 Me Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.5234 Me Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.5234 Me Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.5234 Me Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.5234 Me Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.5234 Me Checked In Add Copy to MyList
