The Jefferson Center Book Group will meet on Zoom to discuss Ours Was the Shining Future: The Story of the American Dream by David Leonhardt (2023). Leonhardt traces origins, success of, and challenges to the American Dream from the Depression to the present. The big arc of the history he covers is probably familiar, but this author has non-standard (well supported) interpretations of how various parts of the trajectory interrelated. Ends with discussable ideas about what political “compromise” might mean. To receive the zoom link, please contact Joseph Graf (graf@sou.edu) or Sandra Coyner (coyner@sou.edu).
