Americans' tendencies to trust, play fair, and help have been abused and require replacement by a realistic outlook. The Vanishing American Dream posits solutions to get America back on the right track. Virginia Deane Abernethy sees population growth driven by mass immigration as a major cause of economic and cultural changes that have been detrimental to most Americans. The environment has been degraded by over-crowding and increasing demands on natural resources. Work is cheapened by explosive growth in the labor force creating a buyers market. One salary or wage no longer supports a family and educates children. Women working outside the home is a necessity, not a choice, for most American families. Furthermore, feminism, aimed originally at balanced gender roles, has been turned viciously against males of all ages and ultimately against females through degrading their traditional and valuable contributions. Abernethy proposes that Americans need time to regroup, untroubled by a continuing influx of foreign peoples. The family, small business, and responsive local government are centers around which a solvent and confident citizenry can prosper again. 000771943 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xEconomic conditions$$y2009- 000771943 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xEconomic policy$$y2009- 000771943 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xSocial conditions$$y1980- 000771943 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xSocial policy$$y1993- 000771943 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xPopulation policy. 000771943 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xEmigration and immigration. 000771943 77608 $$iOnline version:$$aAbernethy, Virginia, author.$$tVanishing American dream$$dNew Brunswick : Transaction Publishers, [2016]$$z9781412862301$$w(DLC) 2016025690 000771943 85200 $$bgen$$hHC106.84$$i.A24$$i2016 000771943 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:771943$$pGLOBAL_SET 000771943 980__ $$aBIB 000771943 980__ $$aBOOK
