Note:"On the eve of the financial crisis, Jacob Hacker wrote "the policy book of the year" (E.J. Dionne, Jr., Washington Post), that laid bare the hidden story of growing economic insecurity. In this fully revised and updated second edition, he brings his powerful expose of the "Great Risk Shift" up to date with startling new evidence covering a decade fo social and economic trends as well as compelling new policy ideas. Without losing sight of the lives embodied in the statistics, Hacker explains what has changed and why, and how we can fix it. --Back cover.
