Now, at a perilous moment for our nation, she has written a book that is at once an account of how we built the strongest middle class in history, a scathing indictment of those who have spent the past thirty-five years undermining working families, and a rousing call to action. Warren grew up in Oklahoma, and she has never forgotten how difficult it was for her mother and father to hold on at the ragged edge of the middle class. An educational system that offered opportunities for all made it possible for her to achieve her dream of going to college, becoming a teacher, and, later, attending law school. But for many, these kinds of opportunities are gone, and a government that once looked out for working families is instead captive to the rich and powerful. Seventy-five years ago, President Franklin Roosevelt and his New Deal ushered in an age of widespread prosperity. In the 1980s, President Ronald Reagan reversed course and sold the country on the disastrous fiction called trickle-down economics. Now, with the election of Donald Trump -- a con artist who promised to drain the swamp of special interests and then surrounded himself with billionaires and lobbyists -- the middle class is being pushed ever closer to collapse. This Fight Is Our Fight tells eye-opening stories about her battles in the Senate and vividly describes the experiences of hard-working Americans who have too often been given the short end of the stick. Elizabeth Warren has had enough of phony promises and a government that no longer serves its people -- she won't sit down, she won't be silenced, and she will fight back. 7a2000-20992fast. 0aMiddle classzUnited States. 7aEconomic history.2fast0(OCoLC)fst00901974. 7aEconomic policy.2fast0(OCoLC)fst00902025. 7aFiscal policy.2fast0(OCoLC)fst00925806. 7aMiddle classxEconomic conditions.2fast0(OCoLC)fst01020444. 7aPolitics and government.2fast0(OCoLC)fst01919741. 7aSocial conditions.2fast0(OCoLC)fst01919811. 7aBIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Political.2bisacsh. 7aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / American Government / Legislative Branch.2bisacsh. 7aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Political Process / Political Parties.2bisacsh. 0aUnited StatesxEconomic policyy2009- 0aUnited StatesxEconomic conditionsy2009- 0aUnited StatesxSocial conditionsy1980- 0aUnited StatesxPolitics and governmenty2009-2017. 7aUnited States.2fast0(OCoLC)fst01204155.
