The American Dream didn't vanish overnight. In this American Power Extra, Matt Randolph examines the decades-long economic transformation that reshaped the middle class—from stagnant wages and declining unions to globalization, soaring housing and healthcare costs, and the rise of Wall Street. Using historical data and economic trends, he explores how policy choices changed who benefits from the American economy, and why many families feel like they're working harder while falling further behind.
