The disappearing middle class -- A safer economy -- Making, and breaking, the middle class -- The rich and powerful tighten their grip -- The moment of upheaval. Senator Elizabeth Warren has long been an outspoken champion of America's middle class, and by the time the people of Massachusetts elected her in 2012, she had become one of the country's leading progressive voices. 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. 2000-2099 fast. 4412 Middle class United States. 4413 Economic history. fast (OCoLC)fst00901974. 4414 Economic policy. fast (OCoLC)fst00902025. 4415 Fiscal policy. fast (OCoLC)fst00925806. 4416 Middle class Economic conditions. fast (OCoLC)fst01020444. 4417 Politics and government. fast (OCoLC)fst01919741. 4418 Social conditions. fast (OCoLC)fst01919811. 4419 BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Political. bisacsh. 4420 POLITICAL SCIENCE / American Government / Legislative Branch. bisacsh. 4421 POLITICAL SCIENCE / Political Process / Political Parties. bisacsh. 4422 United States Economic policy 2009- 4423 United States Economic conditions 2009- 4424 United States Social conditions 1980- 4425 United States Politics and government 2009-2017. 4426 United States. fast (OCoLC)fst01204155. 1467 MARS jao CATBL LEASED170516H LEASED170413H LEASED170413E LEASED170413C LEASED170413B LEASED170413A LEASED170411B LEASED170410F LEASED170407D LEASED170407C LEASED170407B jmd CATRL jao CATBL Call # changed from 320.973 W to 305.5509, Aug. 29, 2017 HC106.84 ddc BOOK .b211769769 m ddc 0 0 ABELJ abelj NF 2018-01-10 28.00 1 305.55 WARR 37348 2018-01-30 2018-01-11 2018-01-10 BOOK
