Third World America

摘要

The Author, Founder of rneponymous website the Huffington Post, is not one for understatement: "The core idea of the American Dream-work hard and advance up the ladder-has been gutted." Grim words, but Huffington lays out a convincing case for why the U.S., with its "shrinking middle class, disappearing jobs, growing economic disparity [and] banking oligarchy," is well on its way to a ruinous chasm between haves and have-nots. She places the blame at the feet of ineffectual politicians (Obama is dissed with faint praise) and greedy Wall Streeters.
