Bush and Barack Obama, and new material on current topics such as the impact of the financial and credit crisis, intergenerational mobility, and the impact of racism and sexism.

A compelling book on an often-overlooked topic, first edition was highly regarded and proved a useful examination of this classic American ideal.
