The American Dream is said to be dying - along with millions of jobs and our trust in public officers and big corporations. But is the promise that shaped us as a nation really endangered? Is greed a prerequisite--or a poison--to our shared national ideal? Veronica and guests examine what the American Dream is and how it fares of late.
Guests:
Christian Williams is the Editor in Chief of Utne Reader. His recent article, "This That and The American Dream" appeared in the June issue of the magazine.
Sandra Hanson is Professor of Sociology at the Institute for Policy Research and Catholic Studies at the Catholic University of America. She co-edited "The American Dream in the 21st Century."
