Unit price perThis book debunks one of America's most influential myths: the idea that successful people achieve their status entirely by their own efforts, a mainstay of conservative anti-government rhetoric. To the contrary, Lapham and Miller reveal the vital role that society and government play in wealth-building, and include testimonials from a host of wealthy individuals describing the kinds of assistance they received. They also spell out why a more realistic view of wealth creation is critical to restoring and safeguarding America's economic health.
