Overview

The Price of Inequality: Lessons from America's Struggles and Hopes is a deeply moving exploration of the American dream-what it promises, who it leaves behind, and why it matters now more than ever. Part memoir, part social critique, this book takes readers on a journey through the hopes of childhood, the struggles of working life, and the stark realities of inequality in modern America. Through personal reflection and historical context, it unpacks how systems designed to uplift often end up constraining, and how the promise of opportunity has become unevenly distributed. From early dreams shaped by family and community to the battles fought in classrooms, workplaces, and neighborhoods, it paints a vivid portrait of resilience in the face of systemic barriers. It examines the shrinking middle class, the imbalance of power in labor and politics, and the ways America ""comes up short"" for too many of its people. Yet this book doesn't stop at critique. It asks hard questions about fairness, democracy, and the common good-while also offering hope. In its final chapters, it looks toward renewal, highlighting the next generation's strength, the importance of action over apathy, and the possibility of reimagining America's promise for all. Powerful, thought-provoking, and ultimately inspiring, The Price of Inequality challenges readers to reflect on their own lives within the larger American story-and to join the fight for a fairer, more inclusive future.
