But are they everything? Do freedoms from government persecution offer enough to live the American Dream? In Freedom Is Not Enough, economist Mark Paul considers the history of American rights and freedoms as determinants of American economic well-being. The failed promise of FDR's New Deal and LBJ's Great Society programs to secure positive rights for all Americans-the right to a decent education, a good job, adequate health care, and a greater capacity for economic flourishing-have left the country fractured by inequality and stifled in social mobility. Paul traces this shift not only to the unrealized promise of the twentieth-century reforms, but tothe simultaneous rise of neoliberalism-the conflation of freedom and markets, the vilification of government intervention in public life-as a persisting source of American injustice. Building on the history of this trend, he offers policy prescriptions to reinvigorate American equality and mobility, including economic prescriptions for the most American question of all: how do you pay for it? A trenchant and deeply researched synthesis of economics, history, and public policy, Freedom Is Not Enough is anew case for one of America's founding promises. It promises to serve as a blueprint for positive change in a challenging time"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Economic rights $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Equality $x Economic aspects $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Economic conditions $y 20th century. $9 92447 651 0 $a United States $x Economic policy $y 20th century. $9 128833 941 $a 2 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20230802012035.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20230509010140.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D2DC7632EE2E11ED8D85606C28ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
