In the 1980s millions of people slipped through a loophole in the American dream and became downwardly mobile. The middle-age executive laid off during an industry crisis, the blue-collar casualty of de-industrialization, the single-mom stranded with three children and a huge mortgage. What happened to these people? This original and unsettling book draws on 150 in depth interviews with refugees from the middle class and questions our assumptions about America's social contract.
