Summary:
Attaining the standard of living
our
parents managed has become impossible. Quart examines the lives of many middle-class Americans who
can
now barely
afford
to raise children, and shows how
our
country has failed its
families
. She offers real solutions to problems, including outlining necessary policy shifts, as well as detailing the DIY tactics some
families
are already putting into motion, and argues for the cultural reevaluation of parenthood and caregiving.
