Robert D. Putnam (Bowling Alone, American Grace: How Religion Divides and Unites Us) is the pre-eminent social scientist of our time. He has consulted for numerous heads of state – including the last three American presidents – and hundreds of grassroots leaders and activists around the world. His latest book, Our Kids: The American Dream in Crisis, offers a groundbreaking examination of why fewer Americans today have the opportunity for upward mobility.
"(Putnam’s) conclusion is chilling: social mobility 'seems poised to plunge in the years ahead, shattering the American dream.' Must read, from the White House to your house." – David Gergen, political analyst and former advisor to four U.S. presidents
