Requests:  0 Summary:  A plea -- deeply personal and told through the lives of real Americans -- to address the crisis in working-class America, while focusing on solutions to mend a half century of governmental failure. Through the lives of real Americans, Kristof and WuDunn address the crisis in working-class America, while focusing on solutions to mend a half century of governmental failure. Rural Yamhill, Oregon, prospered for much of the twentieth century but has been devastated in the last few decades as blue-collar jobs disappeared. About one-quarter of the children on Kristof's old school bus died in adulthood from drugs, alcohol, suicide, or reckless accidents. They are representative of places, from the Dakotas and Oklahoma to New York and Virginia. But here too are stories about resurgence, of working-class families needlessly but profoundly damaged as a result of decades of policy mistakes. -- adapted from jacket   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.0973 Kr Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 306.0973 Kr Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.0973 Kr Checked out 04/30/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.0973 Kr Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.0973 Kr Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 306.0973 Kr Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.0973 Kr Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.0973 Kr Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Naalehu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.0973 Kr Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.0973 Kr Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
