Americans' tendencies to trust, play fair, and help have been abused and require replacement by a realistic outlook. The Vanishing American Dream posits solutions to get America back on the right track. Virginia Deane Abernethy sees population growth driven by mass immigration as a major cause of economic and cultural changes that have been detrimental to most Americans. The environment has been degraded by over-crowding and increasing demands on natural resources. Work is cheapened by explosive growth in the labor force creating a buyers market. One salary or wage no longer supports a family and educates children. Women working outside the home is a necessity, not a choice, for most American families. Furthermore, feminism, aimed originally at balanced gender roles, has been turned viciously against males of all ages and ultimately against females through degrading their traditional and valuable contributions. Abernethy proposes that Americans need time to regroup, untroubled by a continuing influx of foreign peoples. The family, small business, and responsive local government are centers around which a solvent and confident citizenry can prosper again. 651 0 $a United States $x Economic conditions $y 2009- 651 0 $a United States $x Economic policy $y 2009- 651 0 $a United States $x Social conditions $y 1980- 651 0 $a United States $x Social policy $y 1993- 651 0 $a United States $x Population policy. 651 0 $a United States $x Emigration and immigration. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Abernethy, Virginia, author. $t Vanishing American dream $d New Brunswick : Transaction Publishers, [2016] $z 9781412862301 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170405035231.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A515AFFEE9E711E69A6025A3DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
