Summary:

This book is part of a larger project aimed at changing the course the American economy and employment relations system have been on for the past 30 years. From 1980s onward, the economy has been reasonably productive and worked reasonably well for investors and high-level executives, but not for ordinary working Americans and their families. At the same time, many of our institutions that support work atrophied and lost their ability to build an inclusive economy in which the fruits of prosperity are shared widely and equitably.

Contents:

1. The next generation's American dream: what can be done to achieve it?

2. What was the postwar social contract, where did it come from, and what made it work for three decades?

3. What changed in the 1980s and after?

4. Out of crisis, innovation: seedbeds for the future of work

5. A new age of innovation?

6. A call to action: building the next-generation social contract
